Make the default website font Comic Sans. Seriously, it looks cool and matches the site theme of creativity, instead of boring arial.

Want to see it?

- Right click, select inspect element.
- Click on console
- Enter

$('*').css('font-family','comic sans ms');

And hit enter.

Seriously, how cool does it look?

Comic Sans, as per others, look unprofessional and very childish. Keep in mind that Scratch is for all ages. Although I would not be bugged very much by font changes, some teens and adults will get annoyed

However, I do support a feature that changes the default font; maybe an option in the account settings that deals with “site display”.

Semi-Support, the text would look cool for April's Fools Day but I kinda find it annoying if the fonts are all Comic Sans.

Fixed that for you.

Why does Comic Sans get such a bad rep for a few people using it in not the greatest of places? Blame the person, not the font.

Comic Sans MS, commonly referred to as Comic Sans, is a sans-serif casual script typeface designed by Vincent Connare and released in 1994 by Microsoft Corporation.

Microsoft designer Vincent Connare began work on Comic Sans in October 1994. Connare had already created child-oriented fonts for various applications, so when he saw a beta version of Microsoft Bob that used Times New Roman in the word balloons of cartoon characters, he felt that the result was a formal look inappropriate for a program intended to introduce younger users to computers. His decision was to create a new face based on the lettering style of comic books he had in his office, specifically The Dark Knight Returns (lettered by John Costanza) and Watchmen (lettered by Dave Gibbons).

It's not that. Comic Sans is just not a professional font, yet a lot of people are using it in very professional things. At my school, our CS (well, more like learn-about-the-taskbar-and-his-friends-then-learn-about-the-childish-features-of-PowerPoint not-science. LATTAHFTLATCFOPP NS for short) textbook is printed with Comic Sans and just let me tell you that it does not look good at all.

Comic Sans is bashed when used formally.

Here you go some information:

EDIT: I'd just like to add that although Scratch does fit the intended use of Comic Sans, the site itself is not intended to be like that. Comic Sans is more when you are sure only kids just getting into computers are going to use it.
