       ofm2opl - convert Omega and TeX font-metric files to property-list files

SYNOPSIS
       ofm2opl [OPTIONS] OFMNAME[.ofm] [OPLFILE[.opl]]

DESCRIPTION
       ofm2opl	translates  a  binary  Omega Font Metrics file, OFMNAME, into a human-readable property-list form.  The program writes to standard
       output (by default) or to a file specified as OPLFILE.

       The program also works with TeX TFM files, producing TeX PL files.  (ofm2opl is based on the WEB source code for tftopl(1).)

	      output character codes according to TYPE, which can be either `hex' or `ascii'.  Default is `hex'.  ascii specifes all ASCII letters

AUTHOR
       According to the WEB documentation:

	      The first TFtoPL program was designed by Leo Guibas in the summer of 1978.  Contributions by  Frank  Liang,  Doug  Wyatt,  and  Lyle
	      Ramshaw also had a significant effect on the evolution of the present code.

	      Extensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D.E. Knuth in 1989.

	      Extensions  to handle extended font metric files (``OFM'') were added by John Plaice in December 1995 and January 1996, resulting in
	      the new program OFM2OPL.
