AUTHOR
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.
The primary authors of Omega were John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous.
Omega (and Aleph) are now maintained as part of TeX Live.
This manual page was written by C.M. Connelly for the Debian
