I looked at that, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get Sublime to support multiple fonts. That means you'd need to merge the two fonts into a single family, and I had zero luck getting that to happen.

I also think it's pretty important for the cursive font not only to be monospace, but to be the same width as the non-cursive font. You'll get neither of those if you follow those instructions. In fact, I was not able to find a single free monospace cursive font.

So here's hoping that somebody gets inspired by this and makes a free alternative. I get that fonts are a ton of work to make, but I don't think I can justify spending 200 bucks on a font that only I will look at.
