I'm really not an expert on X11 and fonts. I barely managed to print text on a window with st. I don't know why your font doesn't work. Dina is only available in the form of a Windows© .fon from the author website so I guess all the conversion involved to get it working on X11 doesn't help. Post the font you're using here and I/someone will try to look into it.
