A legible monospace font... the very typeface youve been trained to recognize since childhood. This font is a fork of Shannon Miwas Comic Shanns (version 1).

Differences from Comic Shanns

  1. All glyphs have been adjusted to have exactly the same width (using code based on monospacifier).
  2. The glyph metrics have been adjusted to make it display better alongside system font, based on Cousines metrics.
  3. The name is changed to Comic Mono.
  4. A bold version of the font is generated using FontForges Embolden operation.

I have no font creation skills; Im just a software developer. This font family is created by patching the original font, Comic Shanns (v1), using a Python script, generate.py.
