DESCRIPTION

14       ovf2ovp  translates a virtual font (OVF) file, OVFNAME, and its compan‐
15       ion font metric (OFM) file, OFMNAME, into  a  human-readable  property-
16       list  format.  The program writes to standard output (by default) or to
17       a file specified as OVPNAME.
18
19       The program also works with TeX VF and  TFM  files,  producing  TeX  VP
20       files.  (ovf2ovp is based on the WEB source code for vftovp(1).)

AUTHOR

59       According to the WEB documentation:
60
61              VFtoVP  is  an  extended version of the program TFtoPL, which is
62              part of the standard tex()ware library.  The idea of  a  virtual
63              font  was  inspired by the work of David R. Fuchs who designed a
64              similar set of conventions in 1984  while  developing  a  device
65              driver  for ArborText, Inc.  He wrote a somewhat similar program
66              called AMFtoXPL.
