1 and l are quite similar in a whole lot of fonts, so interspersing
letters and digits in this particular manner is asking for trouble.

I get a lot of spam that manages to bypass spam filters by relying on
graphical similarities of letter glyphs and using different code points.

If your target audience are humans instead of spam filters, it makes
sense paying attention to such details.

In this case the problem seems the font used rather than in the naming.

There are things like imprudent naming choices that are mistakes waiting
to happen.

I called an early utility of mine "Preview-LaTeX" and realized with the
first vanity searches that web search engines generally ignore case.
And that I was not exactly entering an empty search space.

Well, I've dropped the capitalization since then, and clearly by now
that tool (that ended up quite elaborate partly due to a host of
contributors) dominates the search space.

But "is this a good idea?" is something people should really consider
when coining terms that other people will have to use as a reference.

It's not "tlasm" but "t1asm", the second character is
the digit "one" (depending on the font you use, it can
be barely noticeable ...). As mentioned on
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/contributor/requirements-for-compiling-lilypond#other
this program is part of the "Type 1 Utilities" suite,
e.g.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/t1utils

I have no issues when I Google it. Did you search for tlasm or t1asm?

Oh dear. It's t-one-asm, not t-ell-asm.

Sorry for the noise.

That's a numeral one, not a lowercase ell.

t1asm [1] is for Type 1 fonts.

I cant find out what tlasm is. It's a missing dependency for the build. 
Google's indexing of billions of pages produces nothing, unless I am 
dreaming. Could somebody help me understand what this program is and 
where to find it?
