16 \fBovf2ovp\fP translates a virtual font (OVF) file, \fIOVFNAME\fP,
17 and its companion font metric (OFM) file, \fIOFMNAME\fP, into a
18 human-readable property-list format\&. The program writes to standard
19 output (by default) or to a file specified as \fIOVPNAME\fP\&.
21 The program also works with TeX VF and TFM files, producing TeX VP
22 files\&. (\fBovf2ovp\fP is based on the WEB source code for

71 \fBVFtoVP\fP is an extended version of the program \fBTFtoPL\fP,
72 which is part of the standard tex()ware library\&. The idea of a
73 virtual font was inspired by the work of David R\&. Fuchs who designed a
74 similar set of conventions in 1984 while developing a device driver
