coding convention hint(s)

I've just happened to run into some problems in this area lately, so I thought to start a thread.
You probably don't know, but it is very hard to find a font that doesn't have the number one (1) and the lowercase L (l) that are actually different enough to distinguish between when standing alone.
Add wanting a readable mono-spaced font without it scrolling off the page, and the pickings get slimmer.
Since the number one is used extensively, lowercase L should be avoided, as in this example - "float aabbxl, float aabbxh, float aabbyl, float aabbyh,...".
I assume aabbxl refers to width, so why not use aabbxw?
