lol I remember those days. It's amazing how much PostScript is required to render a few pages of text. I remember one print job I sent that used about 200 pieces of paper after it printed the actual PostScript source instead of parsing and rendering it for some reason.
- Razengan 7y agoWhat became of all that paper?
- cjfd 7y agoWell, when just rendering text the text and the postscript for it can correspond pretty much one-to-one. On the other hand, if you start to include the necessary fonts it quickly becomes big.
- yiyus 7y agoPostScript, as a concatenative programming language, can be used to write very efficient code. By efficient I mean terse: doing much with very few code. However, it's usually autogenerated, so most ps code is long and ugly (but, obviously, good enough for it's purpose).
