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!
I…don’t hate it? Why am I not horribly offended by this?
Same thoughts here. Went in expecting to hate it instantly and found that it sort of looked nice.
I think some of the reason might be that Comic sans used to have really bad kerning. But with a mono font it is not really an issue.
This has me rethinking like two decades of coding. wtf.
Yeah, this has me intrigued. May try it out in vscode just for a lark. Possibly actually will be easier to read with some nice shapes…
I feel the same way. I hate that Iike it and am now going to try it.
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…
Definitely makes sense considering some dyslexic people have found it helpful in terms of legibility
Yep, it shares a lot of characteristics with fonts like Dyslexie, but without some of the more irritating (but helpful) gravity additions that throw off non-dyslexic readers and/or just look odd.
The additions throw off some dyslexic readers too, I’ve always had an even harder time reading purpose-built dyslexia fonts. Comic mono is top tier for me, it still looks stupid but the readability is incredible.

Third of all, at least it isn’t papyrus
Papyrus!!!
I came here to get mad but comic sans monospaced looks really good. I’m impressed. I might switch my IDE to this.
Reducing the font-size makes it look pretty great.
Yeah but does it have ligatures? That’s my hard pass on coding fonts.
Looks to me like it has a ligature that visually appears as two separate characters but are spaced to be close together. See the
<=in the code examples on the page.
I didn’t want to wake up and start liking comic sans, God damn
⚠️ I have reported this post to the proper authorities.
Title is misleading, it’s a monospaced derivative of Comic Sans that’s actually nice, not actual Conic Sans.
Conic Sans is the hyperbolic version of Comic Sans
I miss RES’s context feature now. Thank god this thread wasn’t too long, so I was able to find my comment you replied to in it in a reasonable amount of time.
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
I mean Comic Mono is mentally relaxing and ligible so great font of choice
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!
Wow, poor comic sans didn’t deserve all the hate it got
Oh no now I want to build a whole Arch rice around that font.
…no that’s not enough.
we need ComicSansOS
Holy man! If you ever do that. Please post! On unix porn as well!
I tried that this morning at work as a joke.
It was still there when I got off.

After two days, what do you think?
Still using Comic Mono, I really like it.
I’d just like to slightly increase the letter spacing. Some portions of code felt a bit too dense. Maybe I’ll try to tweak that after my vacation (as of today, 8 days without a computer)
Wonderful! I also installed Comic Mono yesterday kept it until now. So far so good. Yeah you are right, sometimes the code feels a little bit dense. If you do something about that, please give us an update.
BTW enjoy your vacation!
Giggity.

Friendship ended with font gatekeeping and dogpiling, accessibility is my new best friend
I see serifs. You’re a phony! A great big phony!
Comic Serif just doesn’t have the same ring. Times New Circus?
