  We introduce a new metric on the ideal space of an AF algebra that metrizes
the Fell topology. The novelty of this metric lies in the use of a Hamming
distance type metric in its construction. Furthermore, this metric captures
more of the ideal structure of AF algebras in comparison to known metrics on
the Fell topology of an AF algebra. We explicitly test this on the C*-algebra
of complex-valued continuous functions on a quantized interval by comparing our
new metric with the dual Hausdorff distance on the ideals of this C*-algebras
induced by the Hausdorff distance on the closed subsets of the quantized
interval.
