In documents and presentation files. Beginners want to assume the
one-to-one correspondence. Why in the world should some letters be
written / printed differently? (It is not wise to explain this. Come

tests and exams, the mentioned font makes the letters unique, e.g. the
upper case I VS the lower case l.)
