I'm looking for some font advice. I'm trying to choose a font for circuit board schematic drawings and the overlay that is printed on the board. I'd like there to be a proportional and fixed-width version that play well together. It should have a distinct zero & capital O, and one, capital I & lowercase L. It needs to look nice in a technical environment. Compactness and legibility are key. Help?

SupSuper posted:Search for programmer fonts, they all fulfil your requirements though you'll usually only find them in fixed-width. I've been experimenting with programmer fonts, since they have the 0/1 distinctions I desire and I was already playing around with them for code. Unfortunately, fixed-width ends up being a poor choice for most uses on a PCB & schematic. The designators need to be compact and fixed-width is very wide except for Ms and Ws. Fixed width is needed for certain places, though. I've made a few projects with Deja Vu Sans & Sans Mono, but I don't like the cap J dropping below the baseline. Designators like J32 are pretty common and the J looks so strange when alone with a number. I also wish the face was more rounded in general. Am I being too picky?
