While I love terminus (have been using it as terminal/editing font for years), I found I occasionally mixed up the lowercase "l" and uppercase "I", which (at smaller sizes) only differ by one pixel. I fixed this by removing the left half of the serif on the bottom of the "l" and making the right half a bit larger, as demonstrated in http://marienz.net/m/my-terminus.png . I figured I should attach the patch for this in case you felt it worth including as a "variant".

Thanks again for the font!

    +1. Font is perfected with this fix.

    Sorry for the late answer.

    This is not the first report, so I know exactly what you mean, and already considered l2 (or maybe il2) with iota-like down-part (t-like seems too wide compared to the top-left). Altering the down-accented l-s and testing the horizontal alignment will take some time.
