    Maybe, a part of its unpopularity is because of it’s overuse. That does not? mean its a horrible font, maybe in the ’90s it was acceptable, not in 2012. I am not a specialist regarding fonts, but I do know its kerning is up, it’s not atractive to the eye, and completly useless.

    We get it, the …
    We get it, the internet hates Comic Sans. But it’s only unpopular because it was so grossly overused and in such blatantly incorrect circumstances, like in a secretarial memo or a funeral invitation. As far as the purpose for which it is intended, it works well. It’s a simple font that conveys childishness and fun in a way that isn’t jarring to read.

    Calling it a “horrible aborted font” outright shows that you don’t understand why it’s unpopular, only that you? hate it to be on the bandwagon.

    No, it’s not “just a font” its a horrible aborted font that? even its creator (microsoft) admits is horrible.
