It's again a good time to plug the best programming font, the open secret to many - Dina:

Including its two TTF versions (which are separately notable for using obscure TTF fearure to achieve a proper pixelated look):

Dina looks great in those images -- but at 10pt on my 1440p monitor in VS Code (Win10), it's basically unusable. And I have excellent vision.

One of the TTF versions scales up, Mr. FancyPants :)

The first TTF link doesn't display anything on my machine (no characters display in the font install dialogs). Second version looks pretty rough scaled up imo.
