Description: Monotype Drawing Office 1982. A contemporary sans serif design, Arial contains more humanist characteristics than many of its predecessors and as such is more in tune with the mood of the last decades of the twentieth century. The overall treatment of curves is softer and fuller than in most industrial-style sans serif faces. Terminal strokes are cut on the diagonal which helps to give the face a less mechanical appearance. Arial is an extremely versatile family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text setting in reports, presentations, magazines etc, and for display use in newspapers, advertising and promotions.

piping the output of the grep command
to the first cut command, cut -d":"
-f2 only the characters that appear after the specified delimiter,
i.e., the colon are retained. That leaves the space after the colon
followed by the font name. The second cut command in grep "Full
Name:"| cut -d":" -f2 | cut -c 2- indicates that only the second
character and all subsequent characters, which are signified by the dash
with no number after it, should be retained. The first character, i.e.,
the space character, is discarded.
