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

       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.
