OFM2OPL(1)                  General Commands Manual                 OFM2OPL(1)

NAME
       ofm2opl  -  convert  Omega  and  TeX font-metric files to property-list
       files

SYNOPSIS
       ofm2opl [options] ofmname[.ofm] [oplfile[.opl]]

DESCRIPTION
       ofm2opl translates a binary Omega Font Metrics file,  ofmname,  into  a
       human-readable property-list form.  The program writes to standard out-
       put (by default) or to a file specified as oplfile.

       The program also works with TeX TFM files, producing TeX PL files.

OPTIONS
       (Same as ovf2ovp).

       -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 com-
              patibility.)

       -num-format=ntype
              output  numbers according to ntype, either `hex' or `octal'; de-
              fault is hex.

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

       -help  display a brief summary of syntax and options

       -verbose
              display progress reports

       -version
              output version information and exit

FILES
       OFMNAME
              an Omega Font Metric file

       OPLFILE
              an Omega Property List file

BUGS

       also check if the same bug is present in tftopl(1).  General discussion
       of Omega (and Aleph) can take place on the <http://lists.tug.org/omega>
       mailing list.

AUTHOR
       According to the WEB documentation:

              The first TFtoPL program was designed by Leo Guibas in the  sum-
              mer 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, result-
              ing in the new program OFM2OPL.

       ofm2opl is based on the WEB source code for tftopl(1),  although  nowa-
       days it is a link to omfonts, implemented entirely in C.

       The  primary  authors  of Omega are John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous.
       Omega (and Aleph) are now maintained as part of TeX Live.
