       opl2ofm - convert Omega and TeX property-list files to font-metric files

SYNOPSIS

       opl2ofm [OPTIONS] OPLFILE[.opl] [OFMFILE[.ofm]]

DESCRIPTION

       opl2ofm translates a property-list format file, OPLFILE, into the binary Omega Font Metric
       format.  The program writes to standard output (by default) or  to  a  file  specified  as
       OFMFILE.

       The  program  also works with TeX PL files, producing TeX TFM files.  (opl2ofm is based on
       the WEB source code for pltotf(1).)

AUTHOR

       According to the WEB documentation:

              The  first  PLtoTF  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 OPL2OFM.

       The primary authors of Omega were John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous.  Omega  (and  Aleph)
       are now maintained as part of TeX Live.

       This  manual page was written by C.M. Connelly for the Debian GNU/Linux system. It is also
       now maintained as part of TeX Live.
