From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
PostScript
n.
A page description language, based on work originally done by John Gaffney
at Evans and Sutherland in 1976, evolving through ?JaM? (?John and Martin?,
Martin Newell) at {XEROX PARC}, and finally implemented in its current form
by John Warnock et al. after he and Chuck Geschke founded Adobe Systems
Incorporated in 1982. PostScript gets its leverage by using a full
programming language, rather than a series of low-level escape sequences,
to describe an image to be printed on a laser printer or other output
device (in this it parallels {EMACS}, which exploited a similar insight
about editing tasks). It is also noteworthy for implementing on-the fly
rasterization, from Bezier curve descriptions, of high-quality fonts at low
(e.g. 300 dpi) resolution (it was formerly believed that hand-tuned bitmap
fonts were required for this task). Hackers consider PostScript to be among
the most elegant hacks of all time, and the combination of technical merits
and widespread availability has made PostScript the language of choice for
graphical output.
