Actually it was bothering me recently.

It would be great to change font to something more programming friendly:

- monospaced

- with easily distinguishible characters, compare:

This is what Polyscope actually uses:  
 ![polyscope%20font](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/universal_robots/original/1X/a8f91edb8bc8bfc62972967f6ed603b5228dd2f4.PNG)

You can see, that it is almost impossible to recognize capital-O \<\> zero and capital-I \<\> small-L.

Not sure, but I would bet my money on Deja Vu Sans.

Seems like you were right about DejaVu Sans, but it also looks like that some languages use a different font, whish there were any info on that.

If you are pressed for time, then maybe you can use [WhatTheFont Font | MyFonts](https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont)

If that does not work, then you can find fonts by answering a series of questions at [Identifont - 1: Serif or sans-serif?](http://www.identifont.com/identify.html)

You can also check out whole website:

> **[Identifont - Identify fonts by appearance, find fonts by name](http://www.identifont.com/)**
>
> Identify fonts by appearance, find fonts by name, find picture or symbol fonts, find fonts by designer or publisher.

Good luck.
