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?

    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.

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

          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.

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

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

      Comic Serif just doesn’t have the same ring. Times New Circus?

    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

        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 (starting today, 8 days with no 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!
