NAME

       ovf2ovp - convert a virtual font file and its associated font metric file into property-list format

SYNOPSIS

       ovf2ovp [OPTIONS] OVFNAME[.ovf] [OFMNAME[.ofm] [OVPFILE[.ovp]]]

DESCRIPTION

       ovf2ovp translates a virtual font (OVF) file, OVFNAME, and its companion font metric (OFM) file, OFMNAME,
       into a human-readable property-list format.  The program writes to standard output (by default) or  to  a
       file specified as OVPNAME.

       The  program  also works with TeX VF and TFM files, producing TeX VP files.  (ovf2ovp is based on the WEB
       source code for vftovp(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

AUTHOR

       According to the WEB documentation:

              VFtoVP is an extended version of the program TFtoPL, which  is  part  of  the  standard  tex()ware
              library.   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 AMFtoXPL.
