The ORCID.org body text font does not distinguish among some common characters ("1", "I", "l"), likely to lead to confusion. For example, when I review my account settings / alternative sign-in accounts, my email address looks incorrect because the number "1" appears in that address - but looks like a letter.

  Thank you for your suggestion on improving the ORCID Registry.

  We have now completed our migration to the open-source font Noto Sans, which distinguishes between these characters.

  Please let us know if you have any additional suggestions.

  Warm regards,
  ORCID Community Team
