Windows 10: Comic Sans MS licensing question

I purchased outright not subscription Microsoft Office Student & Teacher Ed. 2003. I am using Word to write a children's book. I will use Comic Sans MS font for the Chapter headings. I will sell copies of the book. I will not sell the font itself. Can I use the font for free? Please answer Yes or No? The discussion by others thus far and not clear enough for me.

Comic Sans font appears jagged and ugly

A while back, the Comic Sans font began to appear jagged and ugly in Chrome and text editors such as Notepad. No other fonts appear to have any smoothing issues; only Comic Sans appeared to have visibly changed.

While the font looks ugly when used in Chrome and text editors, when I tried typing with Comic Sans in paint.net, it appeared perfectly fine—no jagged edges. It looked just like it did elsewhere before.

I screenshotted a comparison between Comic Sans in paint.net (how it should look) and Notepad (all ugly and jagged).

I'd heard Windows 10 had font issues, but I haven't found anything specifically on Comic Sans looking like this. Any idea how to make the font display properly?

 

Changed all fonts to Comic Sans MS, can't login anymore.

Hello!

I have changed all fonts of my Windows 10 to Comic Sans MS.

Now, when I try to login, it fails. Also, the clock on the lock-screen shows something like on the following image:

To be more specific:

1. I start the PC
2. I get the normal lock-screen
3. When I click, the text (clock, ...) moves upwards, like normal
4. The screen goes black
5. Then briefly blue
6. I'm at the lock-screen again

To change the fonts, all I did is to change all values in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts to "comic.ttf" and reboot.

Thanks for your help!

Thank you,

the second link did the trick.

I was able to open up the registry editor and change back the font settings there.

After a reboot I was able to use my Windows again (only without Comic Sans MS as UI-font)
