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).
