opl2ofm - convert Omega and TeX property list (opl) files to font metric (ofm) files

opl2ofm [options] oplfile[.opl] [ofmfile[.ofm]]

opl2ofm translates a human-readable property-list format file (.opl), oplfile, into the binary Omega font metrics format (.ofm). The program writes to standard output (by default) or to a file specified as ofmfile.

The program also works with TeX property list files, producing TeX font metric (.tfm) files.

See tex(1) for details of command-line parsing.
