## README

xkcd-font
=========

The official xkcd font, as used on [xkcd.com](http://xkcd.com/1227/) and the April 1st, 2013 generated comic.

The original font file comes from @randallmunroe, the original font author and xkcd webcomic author. Yes, it's his handwriting. He gave us permission and hopes we [fix the pesky kerning](http://xkcd.com/1015/).

![I have never been as self-conscious about my handwriting as when I was inking in the caption for this comic.](http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/kerning.png)
