Common Questions
Pros
Pro Clear glyph resolution
Pro Simple yet effective
Pro Comes pre-installed on almost any operating system
This means that the user doesn't have to go to the bother of installing anything.
Pro Legible at extremely small point sizes
Tiny Font stands at just 4 pixels short (5 with descenders), yet includes every printable ASCII character.
Cons
Con 1 (one) and lowercase l (ell) are very similar and can be confused
Con Doesn't look very good
Con Doesn't have a slashed zero
Con Pointless to use this for legibility unless you're on an exceptionally small screen device
The tiny point size does not scale well. It's designed for a singular purpose and does well for that, but unless you're working around those limitations the poor readability will slow down your work.
Con Not as pretty as other fonts
Other options look better than Tiny Font at bigger sizes.
