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!

You absolute madman

It's actually very common font for dyslexia

WolfgangsChannel also recently said he used a comics sans-lile font

I'm intrigued, but it feels so wrong

So let's test it 🙂reading comments it seems to be a good idea.

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

[–] HamsterRage@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Does it support ligatures??

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

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

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

I was prepared to hate this, but I actually really like it. Thanks for posting it!

You are not alone! ~back in the 90s~ I'd switch mIRC from the default font to Comic Sans for this very reason.

It would be great if it supprted diacritics, tildes and special characters from other languages. I just tried it and it looks amazing but I can't use it as my main font :(

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] swamplord@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
