Another narrow monospace font I've found recently is Iosevka. It's very clean and legible even on (relatively) low resolutions. And it's completely free and opensource. I really love this font and use it everywhere.

I personally suggest Meslo LG


Meslo LG is a customized version of Apple’s Menlo-Regular font
(which is a customized Bitstream Vera Sans Mono).


I like the dotted zero version

An old truetype font...

It is a bit odd looking but the digits are very distinctive and easy to tell apart at small sizes.

Latin Modern Mono is available from FontSquirrel (and also a core font from LaTeX) which is very tight in condensed form.



As an additional option, Anka Coder comes in both Condensed and Narrow widths.

The Narrow version is one of the other narrowest open-source monospace fonts I have seen. It runs neck and neck with M+1M for width, but with a more divergent style.



p.s. I could have sworn you hadn't mentioned Anka Coder when I read the question, If you had, my apologies for serving it up to you again. At least this gives you the option to see it next to the other options.

The most condensed monospace, open-source font I've found is via fontsquirrel and is called M+ 1m.
