New Hack font makes code better readable.

There is a new monospace, open source font designed especially for programmers and anyone that has to write, read or review code.
As can be seen in the following image, the Hack font distinguishes clearly between the 1 and l, 5 and S, 2 and Z, G and 6, B and 8 and O and 0.
