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.

OPTIONS

20       (Same as ovf2ovp).
21
22       -charcode-format=type
23              output character codes according to type, either `hex',  `octal'
24              or  `ascii'.   Default  is  `hex'; `ascii' says to use ASCII for

28              output character codes  according  to  stype,  either  `num'  or
29              `ascii'.  Default  is  `num';  `ascii'  as  in -charcode-format.
30              (These two redundant options both exist only for historical com‐
31              patibility.)
32
33       -num-format=ntype
34              output  numbers according to ntype, either `hex' or `octal'; de‐
35              fault is hex.
36
37       -text-format=ttype
38              output coding scheme  and  family  according  to  ttype,  either

AUTHOR

67       According to the WEB documentation:
68
69              The  first TFtoPL program was designed by Leo Guibas in the sum‐
70              mer of 1978.  Contributions by Frank Liang, Doug Wyatt, and Lyle
71              Ramshaw  also  had  a significant effect on the evolution of the
72              present code.
73
74              Extensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D.E.
75              Knuth in 1989.
76
77              Extensions  to  handle extended font metric files (``OFM'') were
78              added by John Plaice in December 1995 and January 1996,  result‐
79              ing in the new program OFM2OPL.
80
81       ofm2opl  is  based on the WEB source code for tftopl(1), although nowa‐
82       days it is a link to omfonts, implemented entirely in C.
83
84       The primary authors of Omega were John Plaice and  Yannis  Haralambous.
85       Omega (and Aleph) are now maintained as part of TeX Live.
86
87       This  manual page was written by C.M. Connelly for the Debian GNU/Linux
88       system. It is also now maintained as part of TeX Live.
