+ Version 1.12 of the omfonts programs
+ ====================================
+ ( p r e l i m i n a r y )
+
+This directory contains a new Web Version 1.12 of the Omega font conversion
+programs ofm2opl, opl2ofm, ovf2ovp, and ovp2ovf.
+
+After numerous bugfixes and with a slightly modification of one algorithm
+the programs are now able to process ofm_level=-1 (TFM/VF) as well as
+ofm_level=0,1 (OFM/OVF) files. A virtual font and the local fonts can use
+any combination of these ofm levels.
+
+For the moment VF/OVF files read by ovf2ovp must have the extension '.ovf',
+allowing '.vf' as alternative requires a modification of the Kpathsea
+library that will not be present in TL2009.
+
+Note, however, that all this is still somewhat preliminary. In particular
+the programs still lack the thorough checking of all input data done in
+TFtoPL&Co and required to diagnose problems with faulty binary files.
