Arial isn't the best choice. If you want to optimize accuracy and speed, courier is about the best choice, but if you don't want a fixed pitch font, choose times new roman, as it will suffer less on I/l than sans-serif fonts. Courier will be useful for speed, as it is fixed pitch. If you go with times though, it would be good to increase the inter-character spacing just a bit to stop adjacent characters touching.Ray.
