Holy cow. Aside from the terrible kerning, Comic Sans actually looks pretty reasonable without anti-aliasing. And even saying that makes me feel dirty. :(

- rm445 16y agoI think the small font size may be a factor too. Some of the 'yuk' factor of Comic Sans comes from seeing it too many times in poster sizes, usually in a range of colours too, with the large size accentuating the poor letter spacing demonstrated in the article. Served up small, Comic Sans doesn't have quite the same feel of awfulness.
- a1k0n 16y agoAll of the Microsoft fonts have extremely good hinting, and still look great (well, legible) when shrunk down to tiny pixel sizes. It's the main reason I chose Trebuchet last time I needed a video game font. Though there were a lot of better, more "thematic" choices I could have made, they looked like utter crap at small sizes.
