Ah, memories ...

@arstechnica

So, don't use Times Roman.

Gotta use Times New Roman.

Is that how it works?

@arstechnica @nothe I suppose I should bust out my converter.

@arstechnica Sad and nostalgic for me. Those were beautiful fonts and Postscript printers were like magic.

@arstechnica

OMG, I remember having to support PostScript, and then TrueType happened. Remember buying fonts? We licensed PostScript for a LONG time. Now you can buy a printer with a bunch of scalable fonts, including barcode.

@arstechnica Noooooo I still use so many of them (& especially the old Adobe Garamond when you really want to fit a lot of text on a page in a readable & pleasing way).

@arstechnica I remember when HP sold PS fonts as plug-in cartridges for their printers.

@arstechnica I had so many type 1 fonts in the 90s. When OS X came around, there wasn’t even a way to knowingly manage them. It stole my mojo.

It wasn’t just the move from press to web that threw a spanner in the works of many graphic design careers; it was eradication of habit.

@arstechnica Cool, I had exactly this combo in the picture with the Apple Laser Printer and the Plus. It weighted a ton and it took ages to print a „complex“ PS file. But when it worked it was awesome… I used PageMaker

“Adobe also says that PDF and EPS files with Type 1 fonts will continue to render properly, as long as those fonts are "placed for display or printing as graphic elements." That text will not be editable, however.”
