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.
