Download a png template, which is a grid with A-Z and 0-9.

Paste in the letter images you have.

Download the ttf file.

Interesting suggestion. Can you clarify how to paste the letter images without replacing the template? – fixer1234 Dec 2, 2016 at 20:10 I was looking for ways to do create a font from a png image. This was what I found. This solution requires you to paste individual letters into their template. I don't know if there are fully automated tools for this. – neoneye Dec 4, 2016 at 19:41

PNGs aren't a vector format. They are a raster format. So if you are trying to import a vector format, .png is not one. You can however use tracing tools to convert raster image formats to a vector format you can then import. Such tools are widely available; in software like Adobe Illustrator (commercial) or Inkscape (open-source freeware), or more directly in specialized tools like Vextractor (commercial) or Autotrace (open-source freeware).

Not all fonts have to be vector. Many fonts (even in Windows) are "bitmapped" fonts - as opposed to TrueType or OpenType . – Ian Boyd Mar 31, 2021 at 18:11

Convert the files png to vector. Example: my_font_A.png needs to be converted the into a vector New file: my_font_A.svg One possibility is using: online-converter

To construct the font my_font.ttf it is possible to use: Online TTF Converter . You will have to download every single letter on to the grid they will use to build the ttf file

I have done this, although I've got a problem and it is that the letters are mirrored vertically. Some kind of setting has to be set up at the online ttf converter. It can be that you have to upgrade your user account( = pay)
