Subject: [NTG-context] OT: interview with John Warnock
Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2024 14:04:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <33e84051-e660-4c41-a551-dbe5ccc5f21f@fiee.net> (raw)
Hi, I came across this interview with John Warnock (founder of Adobe and
developer of PostScript):
https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2023/08/102738759-05-01-acc.pdf
Maybe you already know it. And there’s probably a video version.
While the first half about his personal history might not be that
interesting, “how computer graphics came to be” surely is (a simulator
for ship pilots played an important role).
And there’s a side blow to Don Knuth that his approach to fonts was
wrong. ;)
