Comment (by AlbertCahalan):

 Toss the variable-width bitmap fonts.

 Many of the others have value because they have been manually grid fitted
 to be readable. Vector fonts at small sizes typically confuse 0 with O, or
 I1l|, or ({[, or even worse. This makes them particularly bad for software
 development.

 The smaller bitmap fonts are probably decent in greyscale mode, or scaled
 up 2x in color mode. This includes "fixed", which has huge language
 coverage and excellent shapes for distinguishing similar characters.

 BTW, terminal/typewriter fonts that are multiples of 3x3 (such as 9x15,
 9x18, 9x21, 12x18, 12x21, 12x24, 12x27, 15x24, 15x27, 15x30, 15x33, 15x36)
 are probably best in color mode. This ensures that color fringes will not
 vary with screen position.
