Comic sans is great for dyslexia, b's and d's are not mirror images.
I have used Comic Code for years for this reason, and get the occasional giggle when pair programming.

#12If you want this style but balanced slightly more utility, I love Codelia [1]. It's my main coding font. It is, however, a paid font. [1] https://tosche.net/fonts/codelia
There is also Comic Code by the same author: https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code . Feels like a more polished version of Comic Mono (but it is paid, too).
you gotta pay for them italics

#13While we're in this thread suggesting comic-style monospaced fonts, I can recommend Monaspace Radon: https://monaspace.githubnext.com/ (go down to variants, it's 4th) It actually works! I actually really like Comic Sans and that style of font. Don't understand the haters!
All of the Monaspace fonts are really well done.
But Krypton is the best :P

The "texture healing" feature is really clever, I hope that catches on in more mono fonts.

#15Nice, has any one tried scaling this down to VGA and EGA sizes, yet?
I probably should.

#16I hate it. Absolutely amazing.
Re: Comic Mono
#17I've been using a comic sans based mono font now since the last time I saw it on HN (about a year ago based on my receipt). I use a paid version called Comic Code [1]
I find it very easy to read as well as fun. I had similar feelings about using Monaco in the past. I find it personally makes programming easier on the eyes and enjoyable.
I remember reading the font is similar to the letters that are taught in kindergarten which is a theory of why it's easy on the eyes.

#19It's really... nice. I feel happy just looking at it. And it's damn legible too.

My two problems with it were/are:
1. Gratuitous overuse often in inappropriate places (bad news from work, invitation to a funeral, etc.)
2. The fact that it was optimised in its hinting for low resolution screens common around the time of its creation (and its initial target, via MS Bob) making it not optimal for higher resolutions (in print, or on more modern higher resolution screens with or without sub-pixel rendering). If you are going to use that sort of font, I think there are better choices than Comic Sans itself (unless CS has had updates over the years, which, come to think of it, is not unlikely).
If you really want to wind up people who care too much about what fonts you use, try combining the two most overuses and disliked with Comic Papyrus: https://creativemarket.com/blog/designer-combines-papyrus-an... (since renamed Comic Parchment due to litigious arseholery).
