AUTHOR
       According to the WEB documentation:

              VPtoVF is an extended version of the program PLtoTF, which is  part  of  the  standard
              TeXware  library.   OVP2OVF  is  an extended version of VPtoVF that allows much larger
              fonts.  The idea of a virtual font was inspired by the work of David R. Fuchs who  de‐
              signed  a  similar set of conventions in 1984 while developing a device driver for Ar‐
              borText, Inc.  He wrote a somewhat similar program called PLFONT.

       The primary authors of Omega were John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous.  Omega (and Aleph)  are
       now maintained as part of TeX Live.

       This manual page was written by C.M. Connelly for the Debian GNU/Linux system. It is also now
