MODERN FONT TECHNOLOGY IS INSANE

(I'm using High-Logic FontCreator 15 to turn Comic Sans (or rather, my upgraded versions Comic Sans Unicode and Comic Sans Mono) into a so-called "variable font" which supports SMOOTH interpolation of things like font weight, but even monospacing as shown off here—and any combination of these traits can then be interpolated from these as well. It's blowing my mind and it's much less of a pain to work with than I had anticipated but it IS going to be a lot of work nonetheless. Still holy fucking shit I'm creating magic rn)

Looking at fonts and some of them are nice and consistent all the way through, but for some of them you look at the special symbols and go "hoo boy, zero effort went into that ampersand"
