## 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**.
