Hello everyone.
I’m trying to style a web page to use Comic Sans. This has worked in the past as I have the font installed on my system (Fedora 38), and I know that Firefox can see it because it can be selected as an option for the default font:
However when I try to use it in CSS, it is not recognized:
I checked and other fonts are not affected:
I can’t use the Impact font either. Both work under Chrome.
Does anyone have a clue about what could be going on?
Thanks

It’s been banned world wide. Along with papyrus.
Don’t fall for that.
Comic sans is a perfectly valid font and exceptional at its intended role. But it is problematic when used in anything other than a very casual environment.
It’s a great choice for something like a web comic. But not for a law firm.

@ULS @subarctictundra Free the font!
You need quotes around the font name. Courier works because it’s one word.
have you tried
font-family: "Comic Sans MS", "Comic Sans"Hmmm.
What do you get in the terminal:
fc-match 'Comic Sans' fc-match 'Comic Sans MS'?
It’s never been a very serious font anyway, so im not shocked it’s not working anymore.
