This WGL4 version includes the euro currency symbol. Version 2.00 - Comic Sans version 2.00 was added to our core fonts for the Web page on 4 March 1998. Comic Sans MS version history Version 2.10 - This version includes some minor table updates, but no new glyphs. 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. However, the regular weight was still used for help pop-ups and dialog boxes. As 3D Movie Maker progressed, the programmers added sound so that the characters didn't use balloons. Initially it was picked up by the team working on Microsoft 3D Movie Maker for use in speech balloons. I started to make the font in October 1994.
I also noticed that many people were inappropriately using drafting lettering in comic speech balloons. There was a consistent style used in comics, which was quite unlike the style of lettering you see in newspaper cartoon strips. 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. During 1994 I noticed that a large number of cartoon/comic style software titles were under development at Microsoft.
A note from Vincent Connare, Comic Sans' designer.
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. Comic Sans MS is the groovy script font which was first supplied with the Windows 95 Plus! pack.
