It's interesting that you added serifs and monospacing to a sans serif font. It's almost like comic sans but with all the things that make it comic sans removed.

Well it is Comic Mono after all, not Comic Sans Mono :)
Every PR you make is going to be denied.
I don't care it shows up as my BitStream Sans Mono, I know you write in comic sans, DENIED.

So despite the hate Comic Sans gets, squiggly fonts make it easier for dyslexics to read. Non-dyslexics can experience a similar effect by reading a book in serif then a non-serif font. I hate Comic Sans too lol but do what makes your life easier.

I unironically love Comic Mono. I am not dyslexic, I have good eyesight, but I feel like I can read code so much more easily with it versus most other monospaced fonts.
A dude posted his neofetch on a Linux community and he uses fucking comic sans for his terminal. Probably will rot in hell
Shit I might just try this out. I hope my colleagues don’t notice.
That's actually not bad.
Um, can I get this to work as a default Lemmy typeface? I love it.
I also like Comic Sans in general, what can I say I guess that makes me a giant Eldritch tentacle monster.
It's really weird to me how Internet sometimes decide to hate on things just for the sake of it.
I wouldn't be using it myself, because I'm not a fan of hand-written style fonts. But, I see no problem with Comic Sans.
Saving that font for my e-reader tablet.
Suuuper legible and fast to read.
That looks sooooooo nice
Who knew? Just make it monospace.
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.

I love Comic Mono. I use Comic Code - it's not free but it does support ligatures, which was worth it to me. The legibility boost is excellent.
"Serious tho, Comic sans" four words I didn't expect today. Thanks for the heads up on legibility as a small font.
If the font weight were ratcheted down a little, I'd be pretty happy with it.
There was a YouTube programmer I used to watch called funfunfunction. He'd do a weekly video where he'd take a task, a framework, and a "handicap". One episode I remember someone suggested "comic sans lol" , which he set up, but it looked good
Does it support ligatures??
Whatever helps you to the path of a 10x developer, my friend.
the very typeface you’ve been trained to recognize since childhood What does this mean? I feel like the one we learned from childhood would be Times New Roman since every teacher I had required that font.
I don't know how things are today but when I was a kid, some of my textbooks and many of my worksheets were in comic sans.

Might have to learn to code, love me some Comic sans
Stumbled into this site while looking through other comments and apparently it was designed for the speech bubbles of a cartoon dog, not sure about the "legible at small sizes" claim - http://www.connare.com/whycomic.htm
Yeah, I'm surprised how much I like the look of this. I'm into it.
omfg this is the perfect demo font
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.
somehow this doesn't offend my eyes the way comic sans usually does, so I guess that's a win?
