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 are John Plaice <[email protected]> and Yannis Haralambous <[email protected]>.
