The PostScript Standard Encoding (often spelled StandardEncoding, aliased as PostScript [1]) is one of the character sets (or encoding vectors) used by Adobe Systems' PostScript (PS) since 1984. [2] In 1995, IBM assigned code page 1276 ( CCSID 1276) to this character set.
The basic premise of DSC is the separation of prolog (static definitions) and script (code that affects job-specific printed output), plus the disallowing of certain PostScript operators deemed inappropriate for page descriptions. This ensures a basic level of predictability in the PostScript code, thus forming the basis of document manageability.
PostScript (PS) is a page description language and dynamically typed, stack-based programming language.It is most commonly used in the electronic publishing and desktop publishing realm, but as a Turing complete programming language, it can be used for many other purposes as well.
Type 1 (also known as PostScript, PostScript Type 1, PS1, T1 or Adobe Type 1) is the font format for single-byte digital fonts for use with Adobe Type Manager software and with PostScript printers. It can support font hinting .
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) is a Document Structuring Convention (DSC) conforming PostScript document format usable as a graphics file format. The format was developed as early as 1987 by John Warnock and Chuck Geschke , the founders of Adobe , together with Aldus . [ 1 ]
PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files are created by vendors to describe the entire set of features and capabilities available for their PostScript printers. A PPD also contains the PostScript code (commands) used to invoke features for the print job. As such, PPDs function as drivers for all PostScript printers, by providing a unified ...
Ghostscript is a suite of software based on an interpreter for Adobe Systems' PostScript and Portable Document Format (PDF) page description languages.Its main purposes are the rasterization or rendering of such page description language [4] files, for the display or printing of document pages, and the conversion between PostScript and PDF files.
The French National Print Office adopted a point of 2 ⁄ 5 mm or 0.400 mm in about 1810 and continues to use this measurement today (though "recalibrated" to 0.398 77 mm). [ 21 ] [ 22 ] [ 23 ] Japanese [ 24 ] and German [ 9 ] [ 16 ] [ 18 ] standardization bodies instead opted for a metric typographic base measure of exactly 1 ⁄ 4 mm or 0.250 ...
