NAME¶

ovf2ovp - convert Omega and TeX virtual font (ovf) files to property list (ovp) files

SYNOPSIS¶

ovf2ovp [options] ovfname[.ovf] [ofmname[.ofm] [ovpfile[.ovp]]]

DESCRIPTION¶

ovf2ovp translates a virtual font (.ovf) file, ovfname, and its companion font metric (.ofm) file, ofmname, into a human-readable property-list format (.vpl). The program writes to standard output (by default) or to a file specified as ovpname.

The program also works with TeX virtual font files (.vf and .tfm), producing TeX virtual property list (.vpl) files.

OPTIONS¶

See tex(1) for details of command-line parsing.

-charcode-format=type

output character codes according to type, either `hex', `octal' or `ascii'. Default is `hex'; `ascii' says to use ASCII for letters and digits, hex for all else.

-char-format=stype

output character codes according to stype, either `num' or `ascii'. Default is `num'; `ascii' as in -charcode-format. (These two redundant options both exist only for historical compatibility.)

-num-format=ntype

output numbers according to ntype, either `hex' or `octal'; default is hex.

-text-format=ttype

output coding scheme and family according to ttype, either `mixed' or `upper' case; default is mixed.

-help

output help message and exit

-verbose

output progress reports

-version

output version information and exit

These are the same options as in ofm2opl(1).
