From vector to font, how?

From PS to AI:

Simply open the PS file in Illustrator. If you want to save in some

other format, just Save As ...

From Illustrator to FontLab

IMPORT EPS sometimes works, but IMPORT in FontLab doesn't work with

newer versions of EPS or AI files. Instead,

have both applications open. Highlight a design or character or glyph in

Illy and COPY. Open the appropriate glyph window in FontLab and Paste.

You may have to isolate them.

It will take some experience to determine how large to magnify the

design elements in Illustrator and where to place them before copying.

You can also copy and paste many at once, into some arbitrary FontLab

cell, and then move or copy or manipulate individual items in FontLab.

Often the EPS/AI vectors come across to FontLab without being closed;

you then have to go to contours and close open contours.

If your pen tool designs are simply lines and not outlined elements,

they're useless as fonts, by the way.
