       The program also works with TeX PL files, producing TeX TFM files.  (opl2ofm is based on the  WEB  source
       code for pltotf(1).)

AUTHOR

       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.

       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 GNU/Linux system.  It is also now maintained
       as part of TeX Live.
