The idea of a virtual font was inspired by the work of David R.\nFuchs who designed a similar set of conventions in 1984 while developing a device\ndriver for ArborText, Inc. He wrote a somewhat similar program called AMFtoXPL.\n\nThus, ovf2ovp is based on the WEB source code for vftovp(1), although nowadays it is a link\nto omfonts, implemented entirely in C.\n\nThe primary authors of Omega are John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous. Omega (and Aleph) are\nnow maintained as part of TeX Live.\n\nThis manual page was written by C.M. Connelly , for the Debian GNU/Linux sys‐\ntem.
