DIN was made for German highway signs. It's pretty good.
Do not use Georgia, Times New Roman, or Verdana. Those are screen fonts.
Isn't TNR a print font? It looks rather bad on a screen actually. I certainly wouldn't (and never have) use it for a technical report.
It’s a font designed for columns of text about two inches wide. Not a good font for wide lines of text.
