fantasque-sans

Ended up with Hack, but it is missing the font I use[1]. I think I could live with hack. It's amazing to me how many of the fonts in this bracket have lower-case ell and one as nearly identical (both with a line at the base and some protrusion to the left at the top). On improvement would be to allow scalling different fonts to different sizes. With them all at (e.g.) 16pt, there is a wildly different amount of text on the screen. 1: https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

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

Comic Mono is great! I personally like Fantasque Sans just a little bit more though [0] https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

I prefer Fantasque Sans Mono (https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans) myself, mostly due to its loop-less style variant, but any code that resembles an OpenBSD slide set looks instantly good to me...

If you're up for building it yourself, delete `update_features(fnt)` from `Scripts/fontbuilder.py`: https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans/blob/996150820b98a...

Fantasque Sans Mono is similar in spirit and works great for coding too IMHO: https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans/ Don't knock it until you try it, it really looks nice for clean languages without a lot of symbols, operators or noise.

I like it a lot! Definitely in the camp of “comic sans is over-hated for poor reasons, and might even have legibility benefits for dyslexia”, and I considered a few comic sans inspired monospaced fonts before settling on Source Code Pro. The leaders were Fantasque (https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans/) and Comic Code (https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code). (Comic Code’s creator actually links to the font you linked, Comic Mono, as an example of a free font with the same spirit!) Ultimately I found that anything descended from or inspired by comic sans ended up a little too busy for my eyes.

Comic Neue has a monospaced font. Edit: not comic neue, but related: https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

A little less zany but still fun font is https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans, previously known as Cosmic Sans Neue Mono.

I thought it would be silly or I would hate it, but the comic sans like nature of Fantasque Sans Mono really surprised me and worked well for coding/IDE use (especially in Python): https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

While I really hope the claim that hating on Comic Sans being ableist is facetious, I do kinda like the font, and use Fantasque Sans[^1] in my terminal. [^1]: https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

You can add my favourite font to that list: Fantasque Sans Mono (zero clearly different): https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

Highly recommend Fantasque Sans Mono for a realistic take on the "comic-style" coding font - https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

I Completely agree! It is my daily driver font. Use it everywhere, great for shells too. And it's free https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

Fantasque Sans Mono [0] for vector font, and Cozette [1] for bitmap font. [0]: https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans [1]: https://github.com/slavfox/Cozette
