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
designed a similar set of conventions in 1984 while developing a device driver for
ArborText, Inc. He wrote a somewhat similar program called PLFONT.
