Felsmak Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'm not sure if the forum actually changes the text in our posts to Comic Sans, or if people just play along to laugh at those who try it and end up writing normally - like that password censoring prank on Facebook.

Let's find out!Thing is, they show your own posts in normal writing, but when others load the page they can see it in Comic Sans. It is quite smart, actually.

Red Iron Crown Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I thought Comic Sans got banned from the internet in the late '90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantab Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 What even is Comic Sans? I thought it was French, so I put it in Google Translate and it gave me this:http://i.imgur.com/HmhTAHm.png?1So what you're saying is that there are no comics everywhere? What?...Mind=Blown. Comic Sans is so called because it's anything but funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Iron Crown Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I thought the "comic" in comic sans referred to the font looking like the handwriting used in comic books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was French, so I put it in Google Translate and it gave me this:http://i.imgur.com/HmhTAHm.png?1So what you're saying is that there are no comics everywhere? What?...Let's have a quick history class.Comic Sans was created by Microsoft employee Vincent Connare in 1994, with the legend saying that Melinda Gates herself asked him to design a typefont to go with Microsoft Bob. Connare took inspiration in comic books, and designed a similar font. It never made it into the final MS product, but became available in Windows 95 as a default typefont.Breaking down the font name:"Comic": supposed original font name by Connare, inspired by comic books handwritings"Sans": Appended to notify that it is a Core web font, a font that can be safely used on the Web because whatever will be used to display the page will have those fonts"MS": You tell.The correct French term to translate would be "Sans comique", which would then translate to "without comics".Obligatory Vsauce video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I thought "sans" in reference to fonts meant "sans serif". There are many fonts that are "sans" but not core fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my monitor has the colour balance wrong, too. I have the forum set up so all text is blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyAgent007 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I got told to stop using Comic Sans in my webcomic. I figured since it was a.. you know... comic... that it would be ok. But no... it was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
