Are we talking about the manpages or the links to 'omfonts' here?

I was talking about the links to 'omfonts', which exist in both
tetex-bin_2.0.2 and teTeX 2.0.2 compiled from sources. The links also
exist in teTeX 3.0 compiled from source but are missing in
tetex-bin_3.0. No idea why ...

I see. Actually, manpages for 'ofm2opl', 'opl2ofm', 'ovf2ovp', and
'ovp2ovf' /are/ installed with tetex-bin_3.0. But 'omfonts' has no manpage.
