A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with. | ||

This book is primarily 11-point Times. Code text is LucidaSans Typewriter at 85% of the size of the surrounding text. A few decorations are Zapf Dingbats.
The text was written in FrameMaker on several Sun Solaris systems, Macintosh computers, and PC's running various versions of Windows, including, for a mercifully brief while, a 486i laptop running Windows 3.1.
The non-ISO Latin-1 text on pages 162, 165, and 550 were created on Macintosh computers using Adobe Illustrator to make PostScript drawings of the letters included as pictures in the text. The fonts used are Kourier for Cyrillic, ParsZiba for Persian, Palladam for Tamil, Ryumin for Kanji, and Sambhota for Tibetan.
Code examples were written, compiled, and tested, then broken into fragments by a Perl script looking for specially formatted comments. Source fragments and generated output were inserted in the book by another Perl script.
These fonts have been chosen carefully. The code font, when mixed with body text, has the same “x” height and roughly the same weight and “color.” Code in text looks even—if you read quickly it can seem like body text, yet it is easy to tell that code text is different. Please use the fonts we have used (we would be happy to help you locate any) or choose other fonts that are balanced together.
Someday, Weederman, we'll look back on all this and laugh… It will probably be one of those deep, eerie ones that slowly builds to a blood-curdling maniacal scream, but still it will be a laugh. | ||

A child can go only so far in life without potty training. It is not mere coincidence that six of the last seven presidents were potty trained, not to mention nearly half of the nation's state legislators. | ||
