An eye for an ell

How well does your email font distinguish 'l' (ell) and 'I' (eye)?

Subject: Fake Paypal site collects user ids and passwords

Somebody in the Ukraine registered PayPaI.com (note the resemblance to PayPal, especially with the upper-case I [in some fonts]), then copied Paypal's HTML and sent mail to a bunch of paypal users saying 'J. Random has just transferred $827 to you using PayPal, log in at http://www.paypaI.com/ to claim it!' of course, as soon as you "logged in" your password was mailed to some free e-mail service.
