Typesetting APL using a Macintosh

Published: 01 May 1986 Publication History

Abstract

This paper describes a low-cost approach to providing high quality printing of text which contains APL characters as well as other text fonts. APL fonts for the Macintosh™computer and the Apple LaserWriter™printer have been developed which allow low-cost typesetting of APL expressions and functions. Since the Macintosh computer can be used as a work station on several commercial typesetting machines, these fonts can be used to provide commercial quality printing of APL manuscripts.
