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 Great appearance
Dina is compact, sharp, and easy to read.
Pro Compact yet readable
One of the most compact fonts while still being readable. More lines on screen while still passing basic readability check than Consolas, Courier new, Cascadia Mono, Hack, and Crisp. 8, 9, and 10 point are all fantastic.
Pro A really clean programming font
Neat and simple.
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
Only available in bitmap (unless you find that one dude who converted it into a .ttf).
Con 8, 9, and 10pt only
Limited font size options.
