1.2 Typographical conventions

This handbook uses the following typographical conventions:

: Most of the document appears in the Times font.
: Typewriter font is used for anything typed, e.g. Python code or Unix commands.
: Sans serif is used for menu and application names
: New terms and other pieces of jargon are written in italics the first time they are used. [These will be described in a glossary in a later edition].
