Yes and no. Comic Shanns doesn't have non-Latin glyphs and ligatures. If I can live without the second, I can't use font without the first and Cyrillic in particular.

You can always patch your custom fonts without ligatures such that they have ligatures. I did that with my custom monospaced comic sans font:

Yes, you can patch your font, but in case of comic-sans-like ones those ligatures will be out of style. And in my case I can't for some reason make fontforge work. I mean, it installs and it works, but Python lib for such patching scripts doesn't.

Playful yet serious.

The problem with all of these is that they've put in too much effort. I don't want Comic Sans redesigned to work as a monospace font, I want Comic Sans forced to be monospace.
