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.
