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-... 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. ;) HR

Thank you! I got the link to the first part on Mastodon and didn’t want to read even longer, so I didn’t look for more… ;) Hraban
