font for passwords

Hi,
Not sure what subforum to enter this question, so here it goes:
Windows has many fonts, and that's OK, but sometimes I need to handle some passwords (in plain text).
At that moment it becomes extremely important that a given font is "easy to read", and in case of passwords that means: the letters, numbers and whatever else should be clearly different.

Problem is, most fonts don't. Specifically letters like O and I, numbers 0 and 1 can be hard to differ.

So, my question is, what font is suited for that ?
I'm not going to try each of the tens of fonts that are on a given system (for example the ones available in Notepad) to see if one fit. In the end, none may, so I need to get another one.

Or, do one needs to invent my own font, just starting from any font basically, and changing the O and I to something more explicit. Take in mind, letters have 2 cases, so that must be included as well.

I use Consolas.

Consolas is pretty good for zero and O

but 1, lower L and upper I still look too similar

Here's a font comparison.

It's a tough choice, in the way they all seem bad ...

Exactly 0 of them use a slashed zero ( Slashed zero - Wikipedia )

Consolas is one the few that seems to.
This one says the same: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...8-e30b7d847822
and also "Terminal" font

In this list I like Helvetica
but it would be better with a slashed or a dotted zero

It makes it look like nobody ever bothered, but then I don't understand why there are so many fonts anyway. Guess I have to make my own font.
But I have a name already, I'll call it : Password
Next question is whether or not I can distribute modified Windows fonts :)

That's some good options, I also copy to Notepad and then put Font size to very large
