Question Ranking
Pros
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.
Pro Readable
Pro Consistent character widths between the italics and weights
Within Native's weights and styles, each character occupies 580 points of space. This ensures code does not become misaligned if a developer prefers certain callouts in a different style.
Pro The regular weight is free for Desktop, Web, and App Licensing
The regular weight can be picked up free of charge on MyFonts or Fort Foundry’s site.
Pro No alignment issues when switching between styles
Pro Italics are given a lot of differentiation
Cons
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.
Con Not FREE
Not free and hard to find.
