Research direction

Start with xkcd-script and inspect how the existing italic and bold styles are defined. Add the requested monospace style in the corresponding style-handling entry point, then verify that it can produce the terminal-oriented xkcdness shown in the issue.

Description

Requires additional handwriting sample xkcd-script font

It would be funny to see some xkcdness in terminal: 😄

For now it's tricky to achieve, because few terminal emulators don't allow use of fixed-size fonts. So basic work is to add a monospace style, as there are italic and bold already.

As @dummy-index recently improved xkcd-script, maybe you would be interested in this idea?
