The default monospace 8x16 vga font small letters "i & l" looks ugly.
You'll really notice these letters look wrong, because of the spacing caused by these letters.
Redo the "i & l" by making the very bottom width of these letters wider.
You might have to treak the top portion of the "i".
I have redone the "i & l" in my vga.f16 font, and now it looks almost as good as a portional font.
