[website] Use Comic Sans as the System Font in OS X Yosemite

[Arthur]

This is obviously a joke (and the idea originated as one too), but it works and makes for an amusing look to OS X Yosemite. You can cheese out your own Mac or play a hilarious prank on someone, or on a more serious note, it may be a decent system font for a kids workstation. As you’d probably expect, Comic Sans is a goofy system font and looks ridiculous. Want to try it yourself? Of course you do, it’s a piece of cake to install and easy to reverse too.

 

Here’s what you’ll want to do to replace the system font of OS X with the universally lambasted Comic Sans font face:

 

• Download the Comic Sans Yosemite Sans font pack here from FAT Lab (direct ZIP download link)
  
• In the OS X Finder, hit Command+Shift+G and go to ~/Library/Fonts (the user fonts folder)
  
• Unzip and toss the Yosemite Sans font files into ~/Library/Fonts/ then log out of the active user account
  
• Log back into the Mac with that same user account to experience OS X with Comic Sans
  

If you want to reverse this, and you most certainly will unless this is a prank, simply remove the two fonts you added from ~/Library/Fonts/ then log out and back in again. Super easy to undo. And yes, if you do this as a prank, you should absolutely let the target know how to undo this.
