+.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 VP
+files\&.  (\fBovf2ovp\fP is based on the WEB source code for
+\fBvftovp\fP(1)\&.)
+.PP 
+.SH "OPTIONS" 
+.PP 
+.IP 
+.IP "\fB-charcode-format=\fP\fITYPE\fP" 
+output character codes

+.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 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
+\fBAMFtoXPL\fP\&.
