The program writes to standard output (by default) or to a file  specified  as  OFM‐\nFILE.\n\nThe  program also works with TeX PL files, producing TeX TFM files.  (opl2ofm is based on the\nWEB source code for pltotf(1).)\n",

Contribu‐\ntions by Frank Liang, Doug Wyatt, and Lyle Ramshaw also had a  significant  effect  on\nthe evolution of the present code.\n\nExtensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D.E. Knuth in 1989.\n\nExtensions to handle extended font metric files (``OFM'') were added by John Plaice in\nDecember 1995 and January 1996, resulting in the new program OPL2OFM.\n\nThe primary authors of Omega are John Plaice <plaice@cse.unsw.edu.au> and Yannis  Haralambous\n<yannis@fluxus-virus.com>.\n\nThis manual page was written by C.M.
