Seriously, though, Comic Sans was originally designed to be legible at the smallest possible font size, and the lack of hard lines makes it easier to read!

someone at work was sharing their screen and I think they were using this font

it was pretty jarring to me, but if it helps people read easier that's cool!

You absolute madman

I'd love to see someone code in the actual Comic Sans rather than the awesomely adapted Comic Mono. Indentation be damned!

not a crime. i use it for my notepad, it looks weird but its fine for me.

Great to find another Comic Mono user! It's super easy to read. I've been using it in IDEs / Terminal for a while now.

I've even set up Stylus scripts to use it in GitHub and other sites as I find weird going back to the "normal" code fonts.

That's interesting, how can I make GitHub use Fira Code of that's what I'm used to?

Saving that font for my e-reader tablet.

Suuuper legible and fast to read.

Me too man! Been using it for over a year now, coming from Fira Code. It's actually a real enjoyable font to look at.

It's not even monospace

[–] Jamoke@lemmy.themainframe.org 1 points 1 year ago

I was addicted to coding with Comic Mono and ended up purchasing Comic Code. No regrets.

I'm intrigued, but it feels so wrong

I am in the same boat. Installing...Dog help me.

[–] madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

My eyes just can't adjust to this.

It's actually very common font for dyslexia
