Programming

Ngl that is really easy on the eyes. Dammit.

Seriously, for coding I use daily Fantasque Sans Mono, which is based on Comic Sans. I love it.

As someone who always loved Comic Sans and even used it for my little websites back in the early 2000s, I'm in love with this version!

Thank you so much for making this post.

I unironically really like Comic Mono despite not super being a fan of Comic Sans (not cos it looks bad, I think it's actually really nice looking, just overused)

I keep thinking about switching to this font. I use Fira Code atm, and I'd miss the ligatures, but this genuinely looks a a lot more readable

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 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.

If the font weight were ratcheted down a little, I'd be pretty happy with it.

"Serious tho, Comic sans" four words I didn't expect today. Thanks for the heads up on legibility as a small font.

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.

Need to give this a go at work tomorrow!

This is surprisingly not bad...

As long as it's a monospaced font I don't really care what the font is. (Wingdings excluded)

Might give it a try for a day.

I feel like a whole new world has opened its doors to me. I’m using this tomorrow at work.

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.

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.

A dude posted his neofetch on a Linux community and he uses fucking comic sans for his terminal. Probably will rot in hell

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

Saving that font for my e-reader tablet.

Suuuper legible and fast to read.

Wow, that's kind of amazing. I'll be trying it out now. Thanks!

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.

Honestly it looks really nice and easy to read. I personally code in Fira Code, but everyone has their preferences. No judgement at all!

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

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.

somehow this doesn't offend my eyes the way comic sans usually does, so I guess that's a win?

At least you’re using a monospaced one…

Goddamn it...

installs the font on his computer

Whatever helps you to the path of a 10x developer, my friend.

Might have to learn to code, love me some Comic sans

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

omfg this is the perfect demo font
