description
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).)
options
-charcode-format=TYPE
output character codes
according to TYPE, which can be either
’hex’ or ’ascii’. Default is
’hex’. ascii specifes all ASCII letters and
digits; hex gets you everything else.
-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
None known, but
report any found to <omega[:at:]ens[:dot:]fr> (mailing list). You
may also want to check to see if the same bug is present in
pltotf(1).

author
According to
the WEB documentation:
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.
