Excuse me? PostScript may be a trademark, and the cost of having them develop
and implementation for you may be $100,000, but neither of these facts
stop you from going out and developing your own implementation. That's what Sun
did. That's what some folks at Berkeley did. All it takes is careful reading
of the Red Book and lots of hacking.

What these second-source implementations don't have is Adobe's font outlines,
which makes them less than terribly useful for some people.
