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!

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

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

Is it that bad? Now I have IBM Plex installed

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

It's actually very common font for dyslexia

I'm intrigued, but it feels so wrong

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

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

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 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

[–] 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.

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

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