Also, the list needs Dina [1] in its TTF version [2]

What exactly is "Language" supposed to do? When I change it, it seems to only change the theme of the code, not the actual code itself.
My favourite monospaced font is Triplicate https://practicaltypography.com/triplicate.html >: the only true serif monospace that I know of (though I have a vague feeling I found one other at some point). Every other serif monospace I know of is a slab serif. Triplicate’s variable stroke thickness is also exceedingly rare in monospaced fonts; almost everyone goes for uniform stroke thickness, as is customary with sans…
Chances are it will look significantly different than the PDF once you load it into your terminal. Each of the three terminal emulators I have installed already render fonts very differently from each other.
It has the perfect thickness and clarity imho.

There's a free monospace serif-looking font called Go (made for Go, the programming language), designed by Bigelow & Holmes: https://blog.golang.org/go-fonts

(edit) I'll additionally qualify my comment, from a mathematics background I can casually scan a handwritten "!=" which is the same as the ligature, but I just cannot retrain my adult brain to accept the ligature version which is the same as the handwritten one. Brain plasticity I suppose.
More and more often, I see ligatures being used on such fonts. E.g. === or != are combined in a visually single character. Personally, I don't like that at all as I think it makes code less readable. It is probably something that you can get used to. But what exactly is the appeal of it anyway?
I suppose some might say the code looks cleaner with ligatures and they better convey the meaning of the code (e.g. ≠ is easier to understand than !=). Personally, however, I like to see exactly what it is I am typing, exactly which symbols are being used. Ligatures distort that. Ligatures are fine when reading prose, but I find them too confusing when coding. That's a personal preference, though. I'm sure some peopl…
Edit: Unless your reason for checking is that you explicitly want a marginally smaller file (possibly just at bytes level) to download (in which case just use one of the many online tools providing subsetting to strip unicode ranges and do something like remove everything except basic ascii?) there's no real point filtering for fonts without ligatures because, practically, that's just all of them
There’s nothing better and more readable than SF Mono, which isn’t there(license), but anyone can download and use it. :)
> anyone can download and use it > You may use the Apple Font solely in conjunction with Apple-branded applications, including, but not limited to, Xcode, Terminal.app and Console.app. So no, you really can't. Unless you just don't care since it's so good, which is not something that I would condone, obviously, since that would be morally wrong.
