PostScript Language Reference starts with a little history on the language and images of the new version. It goes to cover basic topics such as raster output devices, scan conversion, and page description language in general. PostScript Language Reference provides a description of how to use the PostScript interpreter and understand the ideal structure of PostScript page descriptions. Subsequent chapters cover graphics, fonts, device control, rendering, and operators. Appendix includes a summary LanguageLevel features, implementation limits, interpreter parameters, compatibility issues, character sets, encoding vectors, encoding-name system, and guidelines for the use of the operator.
