About the Journal
The PostScript Language Journal is a publication devoted to the
needs of the PostScript industry. It contains articles by
authors active in the PostScript world, including developers at
Adobe Systems, Inc.
Every issue of the Journal will bring you a wealth of infor-
mation about PostScript: the hardware that understands it, the
software that produces it, the people involved with it, and the
language itself. We'll have product reviews, font samples,
interviews, an ongoing PostScript tutorial, PostScript hints and
tricks, a column on the cover art, which will be different for
each issue of the Journal, and articles on advanced topics in
PostScript programming, written by PostScript software develop-
ers.
From time to time we'll also print articles on subjects not
strictly related to PostScript but of general interest to our
readers in the printing and publishing industry.
The PostScript Language Journal is published quarterly by
Pipeline Associates, Inc.
