There are several tools that convert vector fonts to raster fonts, but I’m struggling to find any automation that works the other way.
Manually converting the Basic Latin set might not be a tremendous feat, but I plan to add further Latin and Symbol support soon, so an automated process makes a lot more sense.
I’m not done trying (:
If you're interested in behind the scene details...
`.fnt` files are very simple – the bulk of their content is an encoded PNG containing the bitmap of each character. The rest of the file is info about where each character starts and stops and how to kern them when followed by other characters.
I suspect it’s enough data to pull each individual character out of the PNG, convert it to SVG, and glue it all back together with FontForge.
