   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.

         I am still laughing after seeing Royal Ransom, and now there&#x27;s this...

         Thanks for lengthening my lifespan (if what they say about laughter is true), and for a great mood for the day.

         And that&#x27;s before even making any single font with the tool.
