Nothing like some good ol' Comic Sans in the world's best IDE: Microsoft Word. Also all spaces are now Unicode spaces.

  No joke: my 70-something IBM veteran C++ class teacher in high school used Comic Sans in Visual Studio. Every time he shared his screen on the projector me and my buddy chuckled. He was so literal that it was either really good dry humor, or the dude genuinely liked coding in Comic Sans.

    Maybe he had dyslexia and had worked out what is now relatively better-known, that Comic Sans is actually really readable for people with dyslexia-spectrum issues.

      That's not necessarily true[0]. It's a widely repeated claim but there doesn't seem to be much actual evidence supporting it. Rather it seems that letter size and spacing are the main factor when trying to make text more readable to dyslectics.

  Did you heard about the 'Comic Mono' font? https://github.com/dtinth/comic-mono-font https://github.com/dtinth/comic-mono-font

    I use "comic code" as my daily driver monospace font as it's good for dyslexia having unique characters for like "d" and "b" that aren't mirrored reflections. I always get a comment on the font when I screenshare... https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code
