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!

Does it support ligatures??

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

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

It's not even monospace

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

I'm intrigued, but it feels so wrong

I am in the same boat. Installing...Dog help me.

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.

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

It's actually very common font for dyslexia
