## NAME
       opl2ofm - convert Omega and TeX property-list files to font-metric files

## SYNOPSIS
       **opl2ofm** [_OPTIONS_] _OPLFILE_[**.opl**] [_OFMFILE_[**.ofm**]]

## DESCRIPTION
       **opl2ofm**  translates  a  property-list format file, _OPLFILE_, into the binary Omega Font Metric
       format.  The program writes to standard output (by default) or to a file  specified  as  _OFM__‐
       _FILE_.

       The  program also works with TeX PL files, producing TeX TFM files.  (**opl2ofm** is based on the
       WEB source code for [**pltotf**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/pltotf/1/markdown).)

## AUTHOR
       According to the WEB documentation:

              The  first **PLtoTF** program was designed by Leo Guibas in the summer of 1978.  Contribu‐
              tions 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 **OPL2OFM**.
