The program writes to standard output (by default) or to a file specified as OVPNAME. The program also works with TeX VF and TFM files, producing TeX VP files. ( ovf2ovp is based on the WEB source code for vftovp(1).)OPTIONS¶

According to the WEB documentation:VFtoVP is an extended version of the program
TFtoPL, which is part of the standard tex()ware library. The idea of a
virtual font was inspired by the work of David R. Fuchs who designed a similar
set of conventions in 1984 while developing a device driver for ArborText,
Inc. He wrote a somewhat similar program called AMFtoXPL.
