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.
