How do I set the default font and fontsize for MATLAB?

The small letter (l) L and the number (1) one look almost identical under the default font and fontsize, currently set to Monospaced 12 point. How can I change the defaults?

To set the default font and fontsize, go to File -> Preferences in MATLAB. Within the "Preferences" window, expand the "General" branch at the upper left side of the window and click on the "Font & Colors" branch. Under the "Desktop font" box on the right side of the window, the font, type and fontsize can be changed.
