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.

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

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.
Reducing the font-size makes it look pretty great.
I didn’t want to wake up and start liking comic sans, God damn
First of all, how dare you
Second of all, how dare you
Third of all, at least it isn’t papyrus
Papyrus!!!
Hang on while I make my monospace version of papyrus to code in
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 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.
that’s actually nice
Heresy!
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.
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!
Is there a Lemmy community for that yet?
https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/unixporn@lemmy.ml There you go.
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.
Really dig that for a new-wave ui
That is so cool. I have no idea what to use it for but I just spent 10 minutes playing with the sliders.
Ooh, I like that.
My original intention was to come here and proclaim that you’re a heretic. Having looked at it for a moment, I think that you’re onto something here…
same here… just right now downloading the font, thinking if I don’t at least give it a try, I’ll forever wonder what it’d be like…
The difference is that Comic Mono is monospaced, which gets rid of Comic Sans’s horrible kerning.
Wow, poor comic sans didn’t deserve all the hate it got
Friendship ended with font gatekeeping and dogpiling, accessibility is my new best friend
i already do that while playing undertale so no losses
I’ve coded with comic neue https://comicneue.com/ over the last few years. I would definitely recommend it.
That’s amazing, I love it. Thanks for linking that!
I mean Comic Mono is mentally relaxing and legible so great font of choice
