I don't understand the font bit. This is a terminal script, it uses the font that your terminal uses?

Your terminal doesn't typically use Consolas. You can do:

    $ wget  https://archive.org/download/PowerPointViewer_201801/PowerPointViewer.exe
    $ cabextract PowerPointViewer.exe
    $ cabextract ppviewer.cab
    $ open CONSOLA*.TTF

and use Consolas on Linux, but it's not available by default.

What they're suggesting is that a lot of their users are logging into an Akamai Linux box from a Windows machine, and therefore aren't "real Linux geeks".

They're talking about the font on the shirt

ah... thank you

What Bash blog would be complete without some Windows trash-talk?
