Considering that I plan on using a lot code on this site, I put a lot of thought into the best fonts to use for readability. I ended up going by a programmers font guide from Mr. Lowing. The code highlights on these pages use the following fonts (in order of preference/availability): Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Lucida Console, Consolas, Courier, monospace.

The result is below:
<?php
if ( ! validate_username($user_login) ) {
$errors['user_login'] = __('This is what the code looks like highlighted');
$user_login = ";
}
?>

If everything went right, it should look like one of the following:

If you do not have one of those fonts, you should still see a monospaced font.

Welcome to the inaugural post of systemBash.com! I created this site mainly for myself, as a repository for different system administration and code snippets for future reference and posterity. I aim to keep it keep the code clean, but easy to read (and search for). I’ll also be posting short reviews of different software suites for anyone happening across this site or looking for more info.
