Cons
Con No Cyrillic glyphs
There are no Cyrillic glyphs in Envy Code R which may be an issue for Russian users.
Con Lowercase "w" is distracting
The lowercase "w" is a bit distinct looking due to the narrow nature of the font. This could cause a distraction to some users.
Con Bitmap only
Certain Cairo-powered apps fail to render them (e.g. sublime text is only available on a few Linux distros).
Con Ships in only two sizes
It only ships in 11px and 14px formats, which might not feel as comfortable to people used to other font sizes.
