I have a confession to make... I code in Comic Sans (dtinth.github.io)

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!

Nothing wrong with that. I personally couldn’t switch to it though.

I'd love to see someone code in the actual Comic Sans rather than the awesomely adapted Comic Mono. Indentation be damned!

You absolute madman

My eyes just can't adjust to this.

[–] RGB@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's not even monospace

[–] swamplord@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

LOL. Love to hear it.

I’m intrigued, but it feels so wrong

[–] sujeewa@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Look what you have done! I used Operator Mono for Italics. I kind of like this!

bro... how did you manage to stain a screenshot

[–] sujeewa@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Is it that bad? Now I have IBM Plex installed

[–] Jamoke@lemmy.themainframe.org 1 points 2 years ago

I was addicted to coding with Comic Mono and ended up purchasing Comic Code. No regrets.

It's actually very common font for dyslexia
