According to the WEB documentation:VPtoVF is an extended version of the
program PLtoTF, which is part of the standard TeXware library.
OVP2OVF is an extended version of VPtoVF that allows much larger
fonts. 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
PLFONT.
