I usually use the string L|l1iI0Oo when checking out fonts.
The idea is there at the bottom of the character's tab, but separating the 1/l/O/0 doesn't provide a great comparison when "the whole point" is to see if you can tell the difference between those characters - ie, if the characters are 'well designed', the differences should be apparent/easy-to-spot. Since it is all done with screen shots, not the easiest\quickest PR, and this is basically a question of the core design of that tab, but perhaps food for thought? (Also, of course, regardless of format, I'd like to see my letter-I, |, and i comparisons along the 1s and ls)
addendum: (If not obvious, my suggested test string is capL, pipe-symbol, lowerL, 1, lowerI, capI, 0, capO, lowerO)
