Courier's 1/l serifs are too subtle at footnotesize, even with colour. Literate-replace only the digit (replacing l would split keywords). Co-authored-by: IndraK <frex-e@users.noreply.github.com>
The first pass only thickened Courier's existing foot; at footnotesize that was a few pixels and still read as a stick. Bold plus a 0.55em slab is obvious next to thin l, including on a B&W print. Non-typewriter (commentstyle) keeps the italic roman 1. Co-authored-by: IndraK <frex-e@users.noreply.github.com>

1andlare too similar at footnotesize in the 3-column notebook, even with syntax colour (green literals vs black identifiers). That is a real mistype risk when copying code in contest (1LLvsll,a[1]vsa[l],f1vsfl).This uses the same listings
literatemechanism already used to fatten{}. Digit1is drawn in bold Courier with a wide overlapping base, so it cannot be read as a stick. Letterlis left alone: replacing it would split keywords (long,class,else, …) and recolor identifier letters.Colour is inherited, so numeric
1stays green. Italic comments (commentstyleis roman italic) skip the substitution, because1/lare already distinct there.Verified: full PDF still 30 pages (same as main's sty on current content);
