       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).)

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.
