node-svg2ttf
Converts SVG font to TTF font (Node.js module)
Internal API is similar to FontForge's one. Since primary goal is generating
iconic fonts, sources can lack some specific TTF/OTF features, like kerning
and so on. Anyway, current code is a good base for development, because it
will save you tons of hours to implement correct writing & optimizing TTF
tables.

lcdf-typetools
tools for OpenType, multiple-master, and Type 1 fonts
LCDF Typetools comprises several programs
for manipulating PostScript Type 1, Type 1 multiple master,
and OpenType fonts.
t1utils
Collection of simple Type 1 font manipulation programs
The t1utils tools allow you to convert between PFA (ASCII) and PFB
(binary) formats; disassemble PFA or PFB files into human-readable
form; and reassemble the human-readable files into PFA or PFB format
files. You can also extract font resources from a Macintosh font
file (ATM/Laserwriter), or create a Macintosh Type 1 font file from a
PFA or PFB font.
