ADRIFT developer uses a sans-serif font for the "Name" field of items, and when it displays the names in folders.
Mostly this does not matter, but the name of a variable is critical because it is accessed directly to print it's value.
Because the upper case I (i) and the lower case l (L) look identical in this font, it is impossible to tell the difference between %NumbersKilled% and %NumbersKiIIed%.
If it is wrong then the name is printed instead of the value, but even so it is difficult to find the problem.
If used in an <#expression#> then it is even worse as you just get a generic "bad expression" error.
A font should be used in which all of the letters and numbers are clearly distinguishable from each other.
