NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       ofm2opl [OPTIONS] OFMNAME[.ofm] [OPLFILE[.opl]]

DESCRIPTION

       ofm2opl  translates  a  binary  Omega  Font  Metrics  file, OFMNAME, into a human-readable
       property-list form.  The program writes to standard output  (by  default)  or  to  a  file
       specified as OPLFILE.

       The  program  also works with TeX TFM files, producing TeX PL files.  (ofm2opl is based on
       the WEB source code for tftopl(1).)

OPTIONS

       -charcode-format=TYPE
              output character codes according to TYPE, which can be  either  `hex'  or  `ascii'.
              Default  is  `hex'.   ascii  specifes  all  ASCII  letters and digits; hex gets you
              everything else.

       -help  display a brief summary of syntax and options

       -verbose
              display progress reports

       -version
              output version information and exit

FILES

       OFMNAME
              an Omega Font Metric file

       OPLFILE

AUTHOR

       According to the WEB documentation:

              The  first  TFtoPL  program  was  designed  by  Leo  Guibas  in the summer of 1978.
              Contributions by Frank Liang, Doug Wyatt, and Lyle Ramshaw also had  a  significant
              effect on the evolution of the present code.

              Extensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D.E. Knuth in 1989.

              Extensions to handle extended font metric files (``OFM'') were added by John Plaice
              in December 1995 and January 1996, resulting in the new program OFM2OPL.
