Okay I need everyone's input here I'm struggling with my options (this is for Comic Sans Mono, not the proportional-width Comic Sans Unicode) because fullwidth characters ideally *should not* be the same width as halfwidth ones.

My best-looking option here is also the most cursed one because it makes fullwidth characters 1.5x the width of halfwidth ones, rather than a more sensible 2x

(you can check out the fonts here btw)

giving comic sans better unicode support 😁
