description
ovf2ovp
translates a virtual font (OVF) file, OVFNAME, and
its companion font metric (OFM) file, OFMNAME, into a
human-readable property-list format. The program writes to
standard output (by default) or to a file specified as
OVPNAME.
The program
also works with TeX VF and TFM files, producing TeX VP
files. (ovf2ovp is based on the WEB source code for
vftovp(1).)
options
-charcode-format=TYPE
output character codes
according to TYPE, which can be either
’hex’ or ’ascii’. Default is
’hex’. ascii specifes all ASCII letters and
digits; hex gets you everything else.
-help
display a brief summary of syntax and options
-verbose
display progress reports
-version
output version information and
exit
files
OVPFILE
Omega Virtual Property List file
OFMNAME
Omega Font Metric file
OVFNAME
Omega Virtual Font file
bugs
None known, but
report any found to <omega[:at:]ens[:dot:]fr> (mailing list). You
should also check to see if the bug is also in
vftovp(1).

author
According to
the WEB documentation:
VFtoVP
is an extended version of the program TFtoPL, 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 AMFtoXPL.
