    Description

      As pointed out by CORE-16236, there are some programs that expect Comic Sans to be present. According to WINE's font page (https://wiki.winehq.org/Create_Fonts) they do not currently have a replacement for Comic Sans.

      I've found this:

      Comic Relief
      https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/comic-relief 
      SIL Open Font License

      According to the developer of it, it's made to be metrically-compatible with MS Comic Sans:
