   I have never felt quite so cacklingly nefarious as a designer as I did just now carefully adjusting vertical scale and offset so that the x-height and baseline of Papyrus optically match Comic Sans when mixed together.

   I don't yet know who I'll be pranking with the downloaded font, but I look forward to their reaction.

      Here you go: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;filebin.net&#x2F;v31in1w6jh1wp9g4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;filebin.net&#x2F;v31in1w6jh1wp9g4

      It will show up as &quot;Papyrus and Comic Sans MS Bastard&quot;.

      Now why you want this is the real question.

         Obligatory: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=jVhlJNJopOQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=jVhlJNJopOQ

         Apparently there&#x27;s a sequel: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Q8PdffUfoF0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Q8PdffUfoF0

            If font humor is your thing, search for Elle Cordova’s videos on YouTube. They are absolute gems.
