NAME

6       ofm2opl  -  convert  Omega  and  TeX font-metric files to property-list
7       files
8

SYNOPSIS

10       ofm2opl [options] ofmname[.ofm] [oplfile[.opl]]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       ofm2opl translates a binary Omega Font Metrics file,  ofmname,  into  a
14       human-readable property-list form.  The program writes to standard out‐
15       put (by default) or to a file specified as oplfile.
16
17       The program also works with TeX TFM files, producing TeX PL files.

AUTHOR

66       According to the WEB documentation:
67
68              The first TFtoPL program was designed by Leo Guibas in the  sum‐
69              mer of 1978.  Contributions by Frank Liang, Doug Wyatt, and Lyle
70              Ramshaw also had a significant effect on the  evolution  of  the
71              present code.
72
73              Extensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D.E.
74              Knuth in 1989.
75
76              Extensions to handle extended font metric files  (``OFM'')  were
77              added  by John Plaice in December 1995 and January 1996, result‐
78              ing in the new program OFM2OPL.
79
80       ofm2opl is based on the WEB source code for tftopl(1),  although  nowa‐
81       days it is a link to omfonts, implemented entirely in C.
82
83       The  primary  authors  of Omega are John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous.
84       Omega (and Aleph) are now maintained as part of TeX Live.
