.SH "NAME"
ovf2ovp \- convert a virtual font file and its associated
font metric file into property-list format
.PP
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fBovf2ovp\fP [ \fIOPTION\fP\&.\&.\&. ] \fIOVFNAME\fP[\&.ovf] [ [
\fIOFMNAME\fP[\&.ofm] ] [ \fIOVPFILE\fP[\&.ovp] ] ]
.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 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
according to \fITYPE\fP, which can be either `hex\&' or `ascii\&'\&.

.IP "\fB-verbose\fP"
display progress reports
.IP "\fB-version\fP"
output version information and exit

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\&.
