No it's not a marginal issue. The letters ought to be distinguishable.

I made the nu more curvy and less serifed. Hope it's enough!

Thanks!

Sorry if this is too marginal an issue, I just don't think it's a good idea to substitute latin 'v'[U+0076] glyph unchanged for Greek 'nu' [U+03bd]. FreeMono may not be the only one so doing, but it's definitely not the standard solution -- unlike 'o' and 'omicron' or 'H' and capital 'eta'.
No big deal, you get used to it, but it really strikes the eye immediately.

(otherwise thank You all for the work in general and fonts in particular -- I love it [is this the right place to say that?])
