ovp2ovf(1)                                                             Omega                                                            ovp2ovf(1)

NAME

       ovp2ovf - convert a virtual property-list file into a virtual font file and its associated font metric file

SYNOPSIS

       ovp2ovf [OPTIONS] OVPFILE[.ovp] [OVFFILE[.ovf] [OFMFILE[.ofm]]]

DESCRIPTION

       ovp2ovf  translates  a  human-readable virtual property list (OVP) file, OVPFILE, into a virtual font (OVF) file, OVFFILE and its companion
       font metric (OFM) file, OFMFILE.

       The program also works with TeX VP files, producing VF and TFM files.  (ovp2ovf is based on the WEB source code for vptovf(1).)

OPTIONS

       -help  display a brief summary of syntax and options

       -verbose
              display progress reports

       -version
              output version information and exit

FILES

       OFMFILE
              Omega Font Metric file

       OVFFILE
              Omega Virtual Font file

       OVPFILE
              Omega Virtual Property List file

BUGS

       None known, but report any found to <omega@ens.fr> (mailing list).  You should also check to see if the bug is in vptovf(1).

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.

NAME

       vftovp - convert virtual font (vf) files to virtual property lists (vpl)

SYNOPSIS

       vftovp [OPTIONS] vf_name[.vf] [tfm_name[.tfm] [vpl_name[.vpl]]]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.	The complete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or manual
       Web2C: A TeX implementation.

       The vftovp program translates a (program-oriented) virtual font file and its accompanying TeX font metric file to a (human-oriented)  prop-
       erty  list  file.  Thus, the virtual font can be edited, and its exact contents can be displayed mnemonically.  It also serves as a VF-file
       validating program; if no error messages are given, the input files are correct.

       The filenames are extended with the appropriate extension if necessary.

OPTIONS

       -charcode-format=format
	      The argument format specifies how character codes are output in the VPL file.  By default, only letters and digits are output  using
	      the  C  integer  code (i.e., in ASCII); the others are output in octal.  (Unless the font's coding scheme starts with TeX math sy or
	      TeX math ex, when all are output in octal.)  If format is ascii, all character codes that correspond to graphic characters,  besides
	      the  left  and  right  parentheses,  are	output in ASCII.  On the other hand, if format is octal, all character codes are output in
	      octal.

       -verbose
	      Without this option, vftovp operates silently.  With it, a banner and progress report are printed on stdout.

ENVIRONMENT

       vftovp looks for vf_name using the environment variable VFFONTS.  If that is not set, it uses the variable TEXFONTS.  If that is  not  set,
       it uses the system default.

       See tex(1) for the details of the searching.

AUTHORS

       Donald  E.  Knuth  wrote the program, based in part on an idea of David Fuchs, starting with the code for tftopl(1).  Karl Berry adapted it
       for compilation with web2c.
