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?
- Parsnip8904 ( @Parsnip8904@beehaw.org ) English31•1 year ago
Same thoughts here. Went in expecting to hate it instantly and found that it sort of looked nice.
- bobslaede ( @bobslaede@feddit.dk ) English16•1 year ago
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.
- qwacko ( @qwacko@lemmy.nz ) English8•1 year ago
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…
- LucidDaemon ( @LucidDaemon@lemmy.world ) English4•1 year ago
I feel the same way. I hate that Iike it and am now going to try it.
- FiskFisk33 ( @FiskFisk33@lemmy.one ) English47•1 year ago
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…
- bermuda ( @bermuda@beehaw.org ) English9•1 year ago
Definitely makes sense considering some dyslexic people have found it helpful in terms of legibility
- a_statistician ( @a_statistician@programming.dev ) English3•1 year ago
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.
- Seraph089 ( @Seraph089@sh.itjust.works ) English3•1 year ago
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.
- Deebster ( @Deebster@beehaw.org ) English6•1 year ago
Reducing the font-size makes it look pretty great.
- solidarity ( @solidarity@suguha.net ) English32•1 year ago
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
- CCatMan ( @CCatMan@lemmy.one ) English10•1 year ago
Papyrus!!!
- Cade ( @cadeje@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
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.
- curiosityLynx ( @curiosityLynx@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
Title is misleading, it’s a monospaced derivative of Comic Sans that’s actually nice, not actual Conic Sans.
- Gork ( @Gork@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
Conic Sans is the hyperbolic version of Comic Sans
- curiosityLynx ( @curiosityLynx@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year ago
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.
- ⓝⓞ🅞🅝🅔 ( @GlassHalfHopeful@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
that’s actually nice
Heresy!
- Lanthanae ( @Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 22•1 year ago
Oh no now I want to build a whole Arch rice around that font.
…no that’s not enough.
we need ComicSansOS
- sujeewa ( @sujeewa@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•1 year ago
Holy man! If you ever do that. Please post! On unix porn as well!
- Lanthanae ( @Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•1 year ago
Is there a Lemmy community for that yet?
- sujeewa ( @sujeewa@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•1 year ago
https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/unixporn@lemmy.ml There you go.
- Jim P. ( @jimp@beehaw.org ) English20•1 year ago
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.
- thiccdiccnicc ( @thiccdiccnicc@sh.itjust.works ) English3•1 year ago
Really dig that for a new-wave ui
- tias ( @tias@discuss.tchncs.de ) English3•1 year ago
That is so cool. I have no idea what to use it for but I just spent 10 minutes playing with the sliders.
- EdTheLegendary ( @EdTheLegendary@programming.dev ) English2•1 year ago
Ooh, I like that.
- kneekon ( @kneekon@beehaw.org ) English19•1 year ago
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…
- Nicktar ( @Nicktar@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year ago
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…
- curiosityLynx ( @curiosityLynx@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
The difference is that Comic Mono is monospaced, which gets rid of Comic Sans’s horrible kerning.
- nii236 ( @nii236@lemmy.jtmn.dev ) English19•1 year ago
Wow, poor comic sans didn’t deserve all the hate it got
- PierreKanazawa ( @PierreKanazawa@fedia.io ) 18•1 year ago
I mean Comic Mono is mentally relaxing and legible so great font of choice

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