Larger point Dina fonts for newer laptops with full HD resolution? (1920x1080)
(1/1)

Hi:
Am a fan of Dina fonts, having imported them into Notepad++ editor on my older laptop and found them to be very clear for programming.
However, just upgraded to a new Lenovo ultrabook, which happens to have a 1920x1080 resolution. For this, the largest Dina font (10pt) feels a bit on the small side after coding for several hours.
Are there any plans to produce larger point sizes? Perhaps a 12pt? 14pt? 20pt?
Besides being useful for the new full HD screens coming out now, they would also be useful for presentations (e.g. PowerPoint)
Currently, when enlarging the font in the Notepad++ editor, it breaks up into a very dot-matrix look, which I suspect is because it does not have a larger size to switch to.
Any new sizes would certainly be worth another donation!
Thanks,
Assad

I wonder if one of the TrueType conversions of Dina would look better enlarged?
AKE:
Many thanks!
A quick Google search on Dina TTF shows that I'm a bit late to the party ;)
But, yes, True Type Dina solves the rescaling problems in Notepad++.
Here's the link for Nathanial Sabinski's conversion of Dina to TTF: http://www.geenat.com/?p=66
