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.
