Apple Hid Steve Jobs’ Amazing Commencement Speech in Its Word Processor

And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them.

It was actually Adobe who introduced beautiful typography to the Mac [0]. Adobe's software was the brains of the original Apple LaserWriter.

Without Adobe, the Mac would not have been able to do vector fonts, and they would have had to settle for printing Mac's default bitmap fonts which looked every bit as bad on paper as everybody else's bitmap fonts.

What Steve is referring to is how fonts up until the Mac were monospaced. The Mac included proportional fonts in different sizes.

the text is from 2005 I wonder when they have added the file... (is created timestamp based on installation date?)

Wow. First time I've read this speech. It's actually incredible.
