A legible monospace font... the very typeface you’ve been trained to recognize since childhood. This font is a fork of Shannon Miwa’s Comic Shanns (version 1).
- All glyphs have been adjusted to have exactly the same width (using code based on monospacifier).
- The glyph metrics have been adjusted to make it display better alongside system font, based on Cousine’s metrics.
- The name is changed to
Comic Mono. - A bold version of the font is generated using FontForge’s Embolden operation.
I have no font creation skills; I’m just a software developer. This font family is created by patching the original font, Comic Shanns (v1), using a Python script, generate.py.
{% include_relative generate.py %}- The original Comic Shanns by Shannon Miwa has V2 released with support for accented characters and other symbols, such as math symbols.
- Check out Serious Shanns by Kyle Beechly, which has more modifications to further enhance the legibility, lighter weight, and Nerd Font version.
- Check out Comic Shanns Mono by Jesus Gonzalez, which is based on Comic Shanns v2 but with metrics adjusted and with more additional characters.
