OVF2OVP(1) General Commands Manual OVF2OVP(1)
NAME
ovf2ovp - convert virtual font file and associated font metrics to 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 VPL files.
OPTIONS
(Same as ofm2opl).
-charcode-format=type
output character codes according to type, either `hex', `octal' or `ascii'. De-
fault is `hex'; `ascii' says to use ASCII for letters and digits, hex for all else.
-char-format=stype
output character codes according to stype, either `num' or `ascii'. Default is
`num'; `ascii' as in -charcode-format. (These two redundant options both exist
only for historical compatibility.)
-num-format=ntype
output numbers according to ntype, either `hex' or `octal'; default is hex.
-text-format=ttype
output coding scheme and family according to ttype, either `mixed' or `upper' case;
default is mixed.
-help display a brief summary of syntax and options
-verbose
display progress reports
-version
output version information and exit
FILES

BUGS
Send bug reports to <http://lists.tug.org/tex-k> (mailing list); may also check if the
same bug is present in vftovp(1). General discussion of Omega (and Aleph) can take place
on the <http://lists.tug.org/omega> mailing list.

AUTHOR
According to the WEB documentation:
VFtoVP is an extended version of the program TFtoPL, which is part of the standard
TeXware 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.
Thus, ovf2ovp is based on the WEB source code for vftovp(1), although nowadays it is a
link to omfonts, implemented entirely in C.
The primary authors of Omega are John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous. Omega (and Aleph)
are now maintained as part of TeX Live.
