I was trying to dissect one of the answers to my "Complete Graphs" question:

dissect '5 5 #:I.,-.+/\=i.5'

In the answer I. looked like |., which threw me off for a brief moment.

However, I just rechecked on a Mac and the I. character has serifs, so it is 
very clearly distinguished from |. , and I assume on Windows it is similar.

At the time of writing my suggestion for serif fonts for verbs, I was using 
Linux (Ubuntu 14.x) and they were definitely not serifed. So I guess this is a 
Linux thing.

Regards,
Jon

 When I got into looking
 at the code, I find that I use Lucida Console 
 for the verb-names.  This has serifs.  Jon,
 can we start this thread 
 over?  What
 symbols do you find hard to distinguish, & where?
