Comic Sans MS version history
Overview
Install fonts on Linux – Debian, Ubuntu, Kali, Mint – Microsoft TrueType core and many more July 31, 2014 How to, Linux 9 Comments Installing fonts is important for those who are multilingual or want to spice up their screen.
Comic Sans MS is the groovy script font which was first supplied with the Windows 95 Plus! pack. Although it might be seen as a novelty typeface, which is great for titles, it's also extremely readable on-screen at small sizes, making it a useful text face.
A note from Vincent Connare, Comic Sans' designer.
During 1994 I noticed that a large number of cartoon/comic style software titles were under development at Microsoft. As Microsoft Creative Writer had a need for fun fonts, I had an idea to make a lettering script similar to the lettering used by the major comic books. ![Installer Comic Sans Ms Ubuntu Installer Comic Sans Ms Ubuntu](http://ubuntuhandbook.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/font-files.jpg)
There was a consistent style used in comics, which was quite unlike the style of lettering you see in newspaper cartoon strips. I also noticed that many people were inappropriately using drafting lettering in comic speech balloons.
I started to make the font in October 1994. Initially it was picked up by the team working on Microsoft 3D Movie Maker for use in speech balloons. As 3D Movie Maker progressed, the programmers added sound so that the characters didn't use balloons. However, the regular weight was still used for help pop-ups and dialog boxes.

Because the regular weight was cleanly hinted for the screen it was also included with the Windows 95 OEM version, the Windows 95 Plus pack, Publisher and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Hope you find the font fun.
Interesting fact - the euro has eyes.
