<h2>What?</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Serious Sans is a legible monospaced font made to resemble the classic
|
||
Comic Sans font we all know and love. It is designed to be suitable for
|
||
use in a professional coding environment while retaining the playfulness
|
||
of the original
|
||
</p>
|
||

|
||
<h2>Why?</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To overcome writer's block, some writers change the font of their word
|
||
processor to Comic Sans. Perhaps the jaunty style helps put our brains in
|
||
a playful mood so we can just write without getting hung up in
|
||
self-criticism
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Serious Sans aims to provide that same experience for programmers and
|
||
their IDE's. As coders, we also enjoy playful styling and tools that help
|
||
us just get to work. But most of us like to have certain standards that
|
||
make our work easier. Monospacing and legibility are important factors
|
||
that facilitate quick scanning of many lines of code
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>Legibility</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Legibility means being able to quickly tell which character is which. In
|
||
fonts with low legibility, for example, it can be difficult to tell the
|
||
difference between an upper case 'I' and a numeral '1'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>Monospacing</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Monospacing means ensuring every character has the same width. This is
|
||
helpful to quickly line up rows of text. For an example of why this is
|
||
helpful, consider adding up a fancy dinner bill:
|
||
</p>

||

||

|
||
><img
|
||

|
||
alt="Adding up a fancy dinner bill"
|
||
title="Adding up a fancy dinner bill"
|
||
style="max-width: 100%"
|
||
/></a>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Without a monospaced font, getting all those numbers to line up for easy
|
||
adding would be a pain!
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>Origins</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I originally changed the font in my IDE to Comic Mono as a joke. I decided
|
||
to leave it that way for a while for fun, and found that it actually seems
|
||
to help my mindset while working. I made Serious Sans as my own leetle
|
||
fork to improve the usability of the font ^_^
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2>Differences from Comic Mono</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>I edited the 'a' to make it look less like an 'o'</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
I remade the Bold weight style and added a Light weight style as well
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>I added Italic styles for each weight style</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Note: you can ignore the generate.py file - it generates the original
|
||
Comic Mono font. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to modify or remove
|
||
it
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>

Please note that so far I have only been using the original

SeriousSans.tff. The other styles have been reviewed but are largely
|
||
untested
