Is there a place to download the extra comic sans unicode by any chance? My Japanese class is starting up next week and I'd love to cause mass agony.

Alright I just finished up all the kana (on my last post I still had like 5 kana left unfinished)

I made a small webpage to display it & with downloads (also has Comic Sans Mono, without japanese)

enjoy ↓

btw I want to point out something I kept in mind while designing the glyphs: characters that usually look very similar in other fonts, tend to stand out from one another a lot more in Comic Sans (in both subtle and less subtle ways). Usually when making fonts it's tempting to pick the path of least resistance and just copypaste parts of glyphs constantly; I still did do that quite a bit but I always made sure to keep this design feature in mind. For example I've always found さ and ち much easier to confuse when the さ is connected, so making the さ more distinct helped a lot imo.

(I'm not a native Japanese reader but I did get a friend to ask their Japanese friends if they had any advice and the 字形 never really came up—basically the only thing they had to say was about the letter spacing and stroke width, both of which I had already noticed by then, and since improved. I'd love to get opinions from more people though!!)
