AUTHOR

       According to the WEB documentation:

              VPtoVF is an extended version of the program PLtoTF, which is part of the standard TeXware library.  OVP2OVF is an extended  version
              of VPtoVF that allows much larger fonts.  The idea of a virtual font was inspired by the work of David R. Fuchs who designed a simi-
              lar set of conventions in 1984 while developing a device driver for ArborText, Inc.  He wrote  a  somewhat  similar  program  called
              PLFONT.
