\fBovp2ovf\fP translates a human-readable virtual property list (OVP)
16
file, \fIOVPFILE\fP, into a virtual font (OVF) file, \fIOVFFILE\fP
17
and its companion font metric (OFM) file, \fIOFMFILE\fP\&.
19
The program also works with TeX VP files, producing VF and TFM files\&.
20
(\fBovp2ovf\fP is based on the WEB source code for \fBvptovf\fP(1)\&.)

According to the WEB documentation:
60
\fBVPtoVF\fP is an extended version of the program \fBPLtoTF\fP,
61
which is part of the standard TeXware library\&. \fBOVP2OVF\fP is an
62
extended version of \fBVPtoVF\fP that allows much larger fonts\&. The
63
idea of a virtual font was inspired by the work of David R\&. Fuchs who
64
designed a similar set of conventions in 1984 while developing a
65
device driver for ArborText, Inc\&. He wrote a somewhat similar program
66
called \fBPLFONT\fP\&.
