I…don’t hate it? Why am I not horribly offended by this?

Oh no, I was ready to pick up my pitchfork, but that is super legible. Brb, I need to go take a look at myself in the mirror...

I didn't want to wake up and start liking comic sans, God damn

This looks way better than it has any right to, I expected to hate this. Now I'm looking at fonts again reevaluating some shit

First of all, how dare you

Second of all, how dare you

Third of all, at least it isn't papyrus

Friendship ended with font gatekeeping and dogpiling, accessibility is my new best friend

I came here to get mad but comic sans monospaced looks really good. I'm impressed. I might switch my IDE to this.

I mean Comic Mono is mentally relaxing and legible so great font of choice

If you like that, check out Recursive Sans & Mono

I wouldn't pick it over Fira Code but it has a bit of whimsy to it that reminds me of Comic Mono.

I see serifs. You're a phony! A great big phony!

This is cute~! I hated comic-sans when seeing it on lots of tacky corporate and school signs etc. but recently I ironically and then unironically fell in love with its whacky-ness, bold-ness and readability, (I use a Samsung phone, and used PT Mono on the S9, but then future phones blocked custom fonts, so I used one hack-ey Comic-Sans version since my mono ones are so underground no one developed a phone hack - now any font is possible again so I'm using the one below~ )

A few years ago my fav. font became PT Mono, from Google Fonts - cyrilic compatible, it has these angular edges, and swoopy circle curves, so cute <3

THEN there was this font printed on 2011 Pentax Q cameras and lenses that I loved, and couldn't find the original, but there was something very similar, STALKER1 and related similar fonts

PT MONO

STALKER1

Whoever owns this whole server can you ban this guy. This is a crime to humanity

I used to use Ubuntu mono but now I use Jetbrains Mono but damn that comic sans looks better than I'd expect I might even give it a try!

I tried using Comic Mono for coding once after seeing this video about Comic Code. Honestly it was a pretty good experience.

⚠️ I have reported this post to the proper authorities.

I don't hate it? If this had ligatures, I would consider actually using it. I use Fira Code Retina for now but I'm always down for more options

Comic Sans is actually really good for dyslexic people. It's why I usually use Comic Sans or Comic Neue when I print stuff out for my dad.

I thought you actually meant the variable width font and I was about to report the post for gore.

Wow, poor comic sans didn’t deserve all the hate it got

I run my real thoughts through a filter of chatgpt with instructions to make it work appropriate, edit font to comic sans, then vary the grayscale of each individual character before I send out emails to people I hate.

That actually looks pretty solid, will have to try it out.

I'm normally quite easy with fonts, for monospace it's usually Fira Code, but for certain tasks I like to use something different.

For instance, terminals usually it's ProFont, and for IRC it's Fantasque Sans. Fantasque Sans is kinda like Comic Sans.

Hmm... maybe I am a bit particular about fonts after all.

It looks surprisingly decent! Does it support ligatures?

Blatant trolling should be banned! Get the pitchforks everyone! :P

Surprisingly readable. Some of the letters are really close to each other, and multiple capitals together look odd. I will try it 🙂

As someone who always loved Comic Sans and even used it for my little websites back in the early 2000s, I'm in love with this version!

Thank you so much for making this post.

I will forever believe the comic sans hate is one of the internet's seemingly random circlejerks, like hating Imagine Dragons.

pfft! Real devs use wingdings!

I've coded with comic neue https://comicneue.com/ over the last few years. I would definitely recommend it.

Every PR you make is going to be denied.

I don't care it shows up as my BitStream Sans Mono, I know you write in comic sans, DENIED.

I unironically really like Comic Mono despite not super being a fan of Comic Sans (not cos it looks bad, I think it's actually really nice looking, just overused)

I keep thinking about switching to this font. I use Fira Code atm, and I'd miss the ligatures, but this genuinely looks a a lot more readable

I'm going to try this after trying Intel's new font that's supposed to be made to accommodate for vision impairment.

Shit I might just try this out. I hope my colleagues don’t notice.

So despite the hate Comic Sans gets, squiggly fonts make it easier for dyslexics to read. Non-dyslexics can experience a similar effect by reading a book in serif then a non-serif font. I hate Comic Sans too lol but do what makes your life easier.

If the font weight were ratcheted down a little, I'd be pretty happy with it.

I feel like a whole new world has opened its doors to me. I’m using this tomorrow at work.

Need to give this a go at work tomorrow!
