ofm2opl − convert Omega and TeX font-metric files to property-list files |
|
ofm2opl [ OPTION... ] OFMNAME[.ofm] [ OPLFILE[.opl] ] |
|
ofm2opl translates a binary Omega Font Metrics file, OFMNAME, into a human-readable property-list form. The program writes to standard output (by default) or to a file specified as OPLFILE. The program also works with TeX TFM files, producing TeX PL files. (ofm2opl is based on the WEB source code for tftopl(1).) |
|
-charcode-format=TYPE |

The first TFtoPL program was designed by Leo Guibas in the summer of 1978. Contributions by Frank Liang, Doug Wyatt, and Lyle Ramshaw also had a significant effect on the evolution of the present code. Extensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D.E. Knuth in 1989. Extensions to handle extended font metric files (‘‘OFM’’) were added by John Plaice in December 1995 and January 1996, resulting in the new program OFM2OPL. |
