Technically it's already in the Xenforo code, except it only works if you actually have the font on your system. If this text shows up in Comic Sans, it means you are using Windows or you forcefully installed it on Linux. If not, it means you are using Linux and haven't installed it, or you're using a smartphone which also doesn't have the font.

The issue with it is that it's called "Comic Sans MS" and it is not a free font, it belongs to Microsoft, therefore you can't really implement it in every possible OS out of the box as it is protected by copyright. You also can't put it on KF servers so it gets served from there because that's also a copyright issue.

We can write messages in many wacky fonts, but why not comic sans? Comic sans has the appropriate, light hearted energy that this website needs, and quite frankly, all these other fonts don’t express who I am. Comic sans is great for inviting your frens to sleepovers, having a laugh, and taking things less seriously.

Enjoy the lighter side of life. Let us write in comic sans.

Give this nigger a child porn usb drive and call the FBI
Comic Sans is a CRIME.
 
I actually kinda like the font. It gives me a lot of nostalgia for The Sims. If you want to type it, you can just type:
Code: 
[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Write your stuff here.[/FONT]
...and it will show up as Comic Sans, even while you're writing your post.
