UNIX System Administration Handbook - Evi Nemeth [498]
The “code” font is PMN Caecilia, designed by Peter Matthias Noordzij. We searched for a long time for a fixed-width font that looked similar to Courier but lacked Courier’s many typesetting problems. We couldn’t find one. We finally settled on this proportional font and used tabs to line up columns of output. This approach works pretty well, but Caecilia is missing some of the characters needed for technical typesetting, and its italic version is noticeably slimmer than its roman.
The lack of good fonts for this application represents a sizable hole in an otherwise saturated and commodified typeface market. Type designers take note!
Index
We have alphabetized files under their last components. And in most cases, only the last component is listed. For example, to find index entries relating to the /etc/passwd file, look under passwd . Our friendly vendors have forced our hand by hiding standard files in new and inventive directories on each system.
