OFM2OPL(1) General Commands Manual OFM2OPL(1)
NAME
ofm2opl - convert Omega and TeX font-metric files to property-list files
SYNOPSIS
ofm2opl [options] ofmname[.ofm] [oplfile[.opl]]
DESCRIPTION
ofm2opl translates a binary Omega Font Metrics file, ofmname, into a human-readable prop-
erty-list form. The program writes to standard output (by default) or to a file specified
as oplfile.
The program also works with TeX TFM files, producing TeX PL files.
OPTIONS
(Same as ovf2ovp).
-charcode-format=type
output character codes according to type, either `hex', `octal' or `ascii'. De-
fault is `hex'; `ascii' says to use ASCII for letters and digits, hex for all else.
-char-format=stype
output character codes according to stype, either `num' or `ascii'. Default is
`num'; `ascii' as in -charcode-format. (These two redundant options both exist
only for historical compatibility.)
-num-format=ntype
output numbers according to ntype, either `hex' or `octal'; default is hex.
-text-format=ttype
output coding scheme and family according to ttype, either `mixed' or `upper' case;
default is mixed.
-help display a brief summary of syntax and options
-verbose
display progress reports
-version
output version information and exit
FILES

AUTHOR
According to the WEB documentation:
The first TFtoPL program was designed by Leo Guibas in the summer of 1978. Contri-
butions by Frank Liang, Doug Wyatt, and Lyle Ramshaw also had a significant effect
on the evolution of the present code.
Extensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D.E. Knuth in 1989.
Extensions to handle extended font metric files (``OFM'') were added by John Plaice
in December 1995 and January 1996, resulting in the new program OFM2OPL.
ofm2opl is based on the WEB source code for tftopl(1), although nowadays it is a link to
omfonts, implemented entirely in C.
The primary authors of Omega are John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous. Omega (and Aleph)
are now maintained as part of TeX Live.
