A free alternative to Comic Sans

Description
Hannes von Döhren created this font to be a much hipper, serifed replacement to the universally dreaded Comic Sans. It's a hip font good for titling and creative treatments, such as lettering in comic strips.

Caveats
- There is a bit of confusion about the license of the font; there seem to
be contradicting license statements:
- http://www.fontsquirrel.com/license/HVD-Comic-Serif-Pro indicates
personal and commercial use is fine, but redistribution and modification
is not;
- http://www.typographyserved.com/Gallery/HVD-Comic-Serif-Pro-%
28Freefont%29/167205# indicates Creative Commons Attribution
Non-Commercial, which means commercial usage is NOT allowed (conflicting
with the earlier license statement) and also indicates redistribution is
fine;
- I contacted Hannes today to see if he would be open to having a more generous license so we could include the font. --Duffy 22:43, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- If it works the other fonts on this page are open to packaging.
- If it does not this page needs to be moved to the rejected fonts category.
