    This look like it would be a good tool: https://www.fontself.com/

    A little more technical: GitHub - adobe-type-tools/opentype-svg: Tools and sample files for making OpenType-SVG fonts

    Free from Microsoft: Get OpenType SVG Font Editor - Microsoft Store and so info on using it: GitHub - Microsoft/OpenType-SVG-Font-Editor: A user-friendly tool for adding SVG to OpenType fonts

    Since SVG is a Vector format, you'd likely want to us Illustrator (although Fontself does have a Photoshop version). You might also want to ask on the Illustrator Forum, Illustrator

      Hm, interesting, thanks.. But guy who created the font like this said : (https://creativemarket.com/SamParrett/1984623-Avallon-OpenSVG-Font-%E2%80%A2-30-Off%21 ) Do you think he use Fontself?

      The OpenSVG format requires Photoshop CC 2017 or Illustrator CC 2018 (or newer). Regular TTF format also included (widely supported).

      Hey guys, so you may have heard about the new font format on the scene, OpenSVG or Colour fonts. This new format is really exciting because it means we can start adding much more detail to the letters than previously possible. Avallon is my latest handpainted brush font, and my first which makes use of this new technology, by using actual brush stroke images with incredible definition. With this font you get an amazing paintbrush effect built in, as a transparent texture, with no extra work required. (I know, it's awesome).

      Another great thing about OpenSVG formats is that they install and work like any other font, and can be used in any colour, on any background. Check out the tutorial video above to see how it works!
