AUTHOR

       According to the WEB documentation:

              VPtoVF  is  an  extended  version  of  the  program  PLtoTF, which is part of the standard TeXware
              library.  OVP2OVF is an extended version of VPtoVF that allows much larger fonts.  The idea  of  a
              virtual  font was inspired by the work of David R. Fuchs who designed a similar set of conventions
              in 1984 while developing a device driver for ArborText, Inc.  He wrote a somewhat similar  program
              called PLFONT.
