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!

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 actually very common font for dyslexia

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

not a crime. i use it for my notepad, it looks weird but its fine for me.

[–] chonkybirb@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

It's not even monospace

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

I’m intrigued, but it feels so wrong

[–] 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.

You absolute madman

[–] jamesj999@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At least you’re using a monospaced one…

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

Why is it so bad?
