Question Ranking
Pros
Pro The easiest to read
All characters are completely readable in the smallest size.
Perfectly usable in terminal and code editors in 12px text size.
Pro Hipster among hipsters
Even hipsters will marvel at this font, praising you as the new hipster lord. It is best at around 19px (tested on Mac). Overall, it has better readability than many default fonts.
Pro Raster font
Always crisp and sharp, highly legible at even 8 pt. Excellent for low to normal dpi screens.
Pro Unique glyphs
This makes it easy to distinguish characters at small sizes.
Pro It has bold font even for the small 11px size
Pro Very good unicode support
It covers most common unicode characters so it's suitable for everyday terminal applications, not only coding.
Cons
Con Pixelated
This is, of course, intentional; but it can be hard to look at compared to other smooth mono-space fonts.
Con Smallest font sizes hard to read
Fonts less than 11pt start to fail readability tests. 9pt specifically has an additional issue where brackets don't align.
Con Not really good in all font-sizes
Completely clean pixels, no anti-aliasing so its best viewed in (n*12) pixel size.
Bold font-weight is not really good because of small padding between them.
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.
