Start of thread: > I actually really like Comic Sans and that style of font. Don't understand the haters! Then you replied saying among other things that its use is inappropriate in many contexts. But that’s circular. why is it deemed inappropriate?
You seem to be talking to three posters as if we are all the same person…

$15.50 for something you use every moment of your working life? It's not that much. It's fine to use free versions instead, but maybe let's stop asking for freebies from folks who make their living that way, especially from Indy folks. (Badger your average megacorp for free stuff for all you want, they'll find ways to extract money somehow)
You need at the very least 4 of those $15.50 fonts to cover italic and bold. If I could get the entire font family for $30 or so I would consider it despite all the free alternatives, but $150 is just way too much if you are making a non-US salary.

I use fantasque sans. I forget what made me choose it over Comic Shanns. It's worth a look if you like this style. https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans
I really like it. I find it really easy to read, and it's fun to see people's reactions when they suddenly realize that they've been staring at Comic Sans on my computer.
I need to try out Comic Code at some point, but it's hard for me to justify when Comic Mono is free.

I'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 kinderga…
To my eyes, especially at small sizes, Comic Code has way more ‘Courier’ to it than Comic Mono.
