One of my main selection criteria for a coding/terminal font is subjective quality of rendering and legibility at small sizes. The preview has an adjustable point size option but that isn't the whole story. The space taken up when rendered is what's important (i.e. pixel height of Em/line and/or the width of 80 monospaced characters.) Edit: A simple solution is to allow independent setting of Point size for the left and right previews so they can be visually the same size, rather than the same stated Pt.no.

Also missing one of my go-tos "Input Mono"[0]. What's great about it is that it comes with so many custom choices that you can configure specific character shapes and choose a width/weight that renders well for your particular use case.
