.PP 
\fBopl2ofm\fP translates a property-list format file, \fIOPLFILE\fP,
into the binary Omega Font Metric format\&.  The program writes to
standard output (by default) or to a file specified as
\fIOFMFILE\fP\&.
.PP 
The program also works with TeX PL files, producing TeX TFM files\&.
(\fBopl2ofm\fP is based on the WEB source code for \fBpltotf\fP(1)\&.)

According to the WEB documentation:
.PP 
.RS 
The first \fBPLtoTF\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 \fBOPL2OFM\fP\&.
