-# Comic Mono
-A legible monospace font... the very typeface you’ve been trained to recognize since childhood. This font is a fork of [Shannon Miwa](https://github.com/shannpersand)’s [Comic Shanns](https://github.com/shannpersand/comic-shanns) (version 1).
+# This project is a fork of dtinth/comic-mono-font

+That project was to create a font. This project is designed to use the generate.py script and use it to take a proportional spaced font and make it a mono spaced font.

-## Differences from Comic Shanns
-1. All glyphs have been [adjusted](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/kj0prs/comic_mono_font/ghc7krt/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) to have exactly the same width (using code based on [monospacifier](https://github.com/cpitclaudel/monospacifier)).
-2. The glyph metrics have been adjusted to make it display better alongside system font, based on [Cousine](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Cousine)’s metrics.
-3. The name is changed to `Comic Mono`.
-4. A bold version of the font is generated using [FontForge’s Embolden](https://fontforge.github.io/Styles.html#Embolden) operation.
-
-I have no font creation skills; I’m just a software developer. This font family is created by patching the original font, [Comic Shanns (v1)](https://github.com/shannpersand/comic-shanns), using a Python script, [`generate.py`](generate.py).

-## Packages published by third parties
-- Fontsource: [@fontsource/comic-mono](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fontsource/comic-mono) ([thanks @DecliningLotus](https://github.com/fontsource/fontsource/pull/117))
-- Arch Linux AUR: [ttf-comic-mono-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-comic-mono-git/) (maintained by DBourgeoisat)
+This may be a very silly idea.  I have got the script to work to generate a mono spaced font from a proportional font.  The key is tweaking the height and width so the fonts look nice.
