How to display "Comic Sans MS" in Linux?
Solution 1
- Comic Sans is the world's most hated font (See http://bancomicsans.com/ )
- If you still want to use Comic Sans you need to install the Comic Sans font. you don't say what Linux you're running, but these instructions are reasonably universal: http://www.wikihow.com/Install-True-Type-Fonts-on-Ubuntu
- Note that this only helps you: Other Linux users may not have Comic Sans installed
Solution 2
Linux Font Equivalents to Popular Web Typefaces - Monday By Noon has some relevant advice, both for displaying locally (install the msttcorefonts package) and for your visitors (use some other font that looks remotely similar, such as TSCu_Comic).
If you truly hate your readers, you could also provide Comic Sans as a web font, although in some jurisdictions that might be a copyright violation.

I use "Comic Sans MS" font on my web page. The web page looks OK if I open it under Windows and MAC. But it does not work under Linux. How can I solve this problem? May be I can put the font on my web server? Is this font available for free? Can it slow down my page? Or may be I can replace "Comic Sans MS" by another font which is similar and is available on the 3 operation systems?

Admin about 14 yearsShould really go on doctype.com. Not really any place for this one on the trilogy sites.

Admin about 14 yearsProbably better on Superuser.com (it is a question that essentially boils down to installing fonts...)

Admin about 14 yearsI haven't seen it, but I can guarantee that your web page does not look OK to anyone anywhere.

JoKalliauer about 3 yearsComic Sans is the most common readable font for people with dyslexia! So If you want that all people can read it use Comic Sans or OpenDyslexic .
