Comic Mono

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).

Differences from Comic Shanns

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.
