+.PP
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBovf2ovp\fP translates a virtual font (OVF) file, \fIovfname\fP,
+and its companion font metric (OFM) file, \fIofmname\fP, into a
+human-readable property-list format\&. The program writes to standard
+output (by default) or to a file specified as \fIovpname\fP\&.
+.PP
+The program also works with TeX VF and TFM files, producing TeX VPL
+files\&.
+.PP
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+(Same as \fBofm2opl\fP).
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-charcode-format=\fP\fItype\fP"
+output character codes according to \fItype\fP,
+either `hex\&', `octal\&' or `ascii\&'\&. Default is
+`hex\&'\&; `ascii' says to use
+ASCII for letters and digits, hex for all else\&.
+.IP "\fB-char-format=\fP\fIstype\fP"
+output character codes according to \fIstype\fP,
+either `num\&' or `ascii\&'\&. Default is `num'; `ascii' as in
+-charcode-format. (These two redundant options both exist only for
+historical compatibility.)
+.IP "\fB-num-format=\fP\fIntype\fP"
+output numbers according to \fIntype\fP,
+either `hex' or `octal'; default is hex.
+.IP "\fB-text-format=\fP\fIttype\fP"
+output coding scheme and family according to \fIttype\fP,
+either `mixed' or `upper' case; default is mixed.
+.IP "\fB-help\fP"
+display a brief summary of syntax and options
+.IP "\fB-verbose\fP"
+display progress reports
+.IP "\fB-version\fP"
+output version information and exit

+.SH "AUTHOR"
+.PP
+According to the WEB documentation:
+.PP
+.RS
+\fBVFtoVP\fP is an extended version of the program \fBTFtoPL\fP,
+which is part of the standard TeXware 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
+\fBAMFtoXPL\fP\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+Thus, \fBovf2ovp\fP is based on the WEB source code for \fBvftovp\fP(1),
+although nowadays it is a link to \fBomfonts\fP, implemented entirely in
+C.
+.PP
+The primary authors of Omega are John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous.
+Omega (and Aleph) are now maintained as part of TeX Live.
