description
opl2ofm
translates a property-list format file, OPLFILE, into
the binary Omega Font Metric format. The program writes to
standard output (by default) or to a file specified as
OFMFILE.
The program
also works with TeX PL files, producing TeX TFM files.
(opl2ofm is based on the WEB source code for
pltotf(1).)

According to
the WEB documentation:
The first
PLtoTF 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 OPL2OFM.
