Presents an interview conducted with Liz Bond Crews. Crews began her career as a systems analyst in Los Angeles, CA, USA, for RCA. She soon joined the Xerox Electro-Optical Division in Pasadena, CA, where she led a group building special systems for National Geographic magazine, Ginn & Company, and University Microfilm. In her final position at Xerox, she licensed high-quality typeface designs from Mergenthaler Linotype, among others, for use on Xerox’s high-performance 9700 laser printer. In the early 1980s, the Adobe cofounder John Warnock recruited Crews to Adobe Systems, where her first task was to license high-quality typeface designs to be rendered as Adobe Type 1 fonts for PostScript printers. While at Adobe, she was responsible for bringing high-quality typography to the Adobe PostScript pagedescription language, running corporate marketing, hiring graphics designers, and putting Adobe on a firm footing with professional designers and printers, greatly enhancing the value of their product. After Adobe, she helped found Electronics for Imaging and, after some consulting, retired in 1993.

介绍对 Liz Bond Crews 进行的采访。Crews 的职业生涯始于在美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶为 RCA 担任系统分析师。她很快加入了位于加利福尼亚州帕萨迪纳市的施乐光电部门,在那里她领导了一个为国家地理杂志、Ginn & Company 和大学缩微胶卷构建特殊系统的小组。在施乐的最后一个职位上,她获得了 Mergenthaler Linotype 等公司的高质量字体设计许可,用于施乐的高性能 9700 激光打印机。在 1980 年代初期,Adobe 联合创始人约翰·沃诺克 (John Warnock) 将 Crews 招募到 Adob​​e Systems,在那里她的第一个任务是授权高质量的字体设计,以便为 PostScript 打印机渲染为 Adob​​e Type 1 字体。在 Adob​​e 期间,她负责将高质量的排版引入 Adob​​e PostScript 页面描述语言,运行企业营销,聘请图形设计师,并让 Adob​​e 与专业设计师和印刷商站稳脚跟,大大提高了他们产品的价值。在 Adob​​e 之后,她帮助创立了 Electronics for Imaging,并在经过一些咨询后于 1993 年退休。
