description
ovp2ovf
translates a human-readable virtual property list (OVP)
file, OVPFILE, into a virtual font (OVF) file,
OVFFILE and its companion font metric (OFM) file,
OFMFILE.
The program
also works with TeX VP files, producing VF and TFM files.
(ovp2ovf is based on the WEB source code for
vptovf(1).)

author
According to
the WEB documentation:
VPtoVF
is an extended version of the program PLtoTF, which
is part of the standard TeXware library. OVP2OVF is
an extended version of VPtoVF 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
PLFONT.
