+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBofm2opl\fP translates a binary Omega Font Metrics file,
+\fIOFMNAME\fP, into a human-readable property-list form\&. The
+program writes to standard output (by default) or to a file specified
+as \fIOPLFILE\fP\&.
+.PP
+The program also works with TeX TFM files, producing TeX PL files\&.
+(\fBofm2opl\fP is based on the WEB source code for \fBtftopl\fP(1)\&.)

+`hex\&'\&. ascii specifes all
+ASCII letters and digits;
+hex gets you everything

+According to the WEB documentation:

+.RS
+The first \fBTFtoPL\fP 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\&.
+.PP
+Extensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D\&.E\&. Knuth
+in 1989\&.
+.PP
+Extensions to handle extended font metric files (``OFM\&'\&') were added
+by John Plaice in December 1995 and January 1996, resulting in the new
+program \fBOFM2OPL\fP\&.
