.SH "NAME"
ovp2ovf \- convert a virtual property-list file into a
virtual font file and its associated font metric file
.PP
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBovp2ovf\fP translates a human-readable virtual property list (OVP)
file, \fIOVPFILE\fP, into a virtual font (OVF) file, \fIOVFFILE\fP
and its companion font metric (OFM) file, \fIOFMFILE\fP\&.
.PP
The program also works with TeX VP files, producing VF and TFM files\&.
(\fBovp2ovf\fP is based on the WEB source code for \fBvptovf\fP(1)\&.)

.SH "AUTHOR"
.PP
According to the WEB documentation:
.PP
.RS
\fBVPtoVF\fP is an extended version of the program \fBPLtoTF\fP,
which is part of the standard TeXware library\&. \fBOVP2OVF\fP is an
extended version of \fBVPtoVF\fP that allows much larger fonts\&. 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 \fBPLFONT\fP\&.
