Description Will Cooke 2017-07-25 19:37:11 UTC 
Once a WiFi Hotspot is enabled the password is shown in the Network panel.

With some fonts, in my case the Ubuntu font, it is hard to distinguish between an uppercase I and a lowercase L amongst others.

Switching the label_hotspot_security_key label to a monospace font makes this a bit easier.

Hi Will, thanks for opening this bug and writing the patches.

Unfortunately, I don't think this is a good solution for your problem. If the Ubuntu font is visually ambiguous and have confusing characters, these characters should be redesigned.

I know this might not be the answer you were expecting, but I hope you understand the position.

And again, thanks for working on it. Hope you don't hesitate to continue contributing here from now on.

Georges, thank you for taking the time to review all these patches.

I have updated the patch and provided screenshots in the below merge proposal:

I am reopening this issue because I think Cantarell is affected too.
