Intel One Mono Typeface
I like it a lot! Definitely in the camp of “comic sans is over-hated for poor reasons, and might even have legibility benefits for dyslexia”, and I considered a few comic sans inspired monospaced fonts before settling on Source Code Pro. The leaders were Fantasque (https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans/) and Comic Code (https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code). (Comic Code’s creator actually links to the font you linked, Comic Mono, as an example of a free font with the same spirit!)
Ultimately I found that anything descended from or inspired by comic sans ended up a little too busy for my eyes.

One of my students shared their VSCode window…
If paying for a font isn't your thing but you're curious this is a free version I used to use of a similar idea. https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

How to make Emacs always display zeros with slashes?
For Emacs I use Fantasque Sans Mono, which has a slashed zero and some other good features (e.g. clear difference between 1 and l).

Modern Mono
I thought it would be silly or I would hate it, but the comic sans like nature of Fantasque Sans Mono really surprised me and worked well for coding/IDE use (especially in Python): https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

new rules at work… I’m turning in my 2 week notice asap
I know you didn't ask but I have mild dyslexia and a friend turned me on to the font he uses for coding called Fantasque Sans. I found it to be pleasantly readable like Comic Sans without being as stylistically offensive.

What's your favorite Nerd Font?
Fantasque Sans (https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans) - I love it and use it for years in all editors! For terminal I use a patched variant of Ubuntu Mono.

Moving from Rust to C++
If you haven't heard of him, the joke's on you. Maybe. In any case, his work is worth looking into.
He has done interesting work in font creation, font building primitives, rasterization, 2D drawing, and resistant social network graphs (which turns out to be more or less equivalent to the Old Sk00l Google Juice system).
He was recently instrumental in performing a wonderful experiment in editor building -- wonderful because of the way it failed. It was something that one would think would work, but somehow it didn't. It's always interesting when intelligent and well-informed people are wrong about something. Perhaps there was too much Design and too little boring boiler plate.

Font to big spacing
I ran into something really similar with the "Inconsolata" font on Ubuntu recently (same issue as here, in case you'd like to read about it). What worked for me was recompiling emacs from source, and including the --with-cairo flag for the configure script:

Preferred Monospace Font?
I like Fantasque Sans Mono, and Inconsolata, and Input (not open source).

What's your theme, font, color-scheme of choice?
I change the mono font to Ligconsolata (Inconsolata with ligatures), and for the colors I use Tomorrow Night Eighties.

Is there a way to hide certain font from Firefox?
For example, installing Inconsolata-VF creates one "Inconsolata Regular (TrueType)" entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts. Then I can only do @font-face { font-family: "Courier New"; src: local("Inconsolata Regular"); } Anything else like "Inconsolata Medium" won't work.
