Creating a universal font document (.otf .ttf) with CC?

I love Photoshop. ive done some powerful things with it like 3d .gif and all sorts.. so I'm assuming this should be easily possible. can someone please point me in the right direction? do I need to download a plugin? when searching online I get drowned out by standard tutorials on how to add font to an image but cannot find this specifically.

A font is a font. You need dedicated software to create it. This has nothing to do with Photoshop at all. You draw out basic contours in a vector graphics program and then finetune the properties like kerning in tools like FontStudio or whatever tool you use.

it just seems like it wouldn't be that hard for photoshop to convert an image into a glyph considering I can define brushtips and patterns... is there an adobe vector program or will I need to outsource?

forgive me for making an assumption. I mean why should ps have a 3d aspect considering its called *Photoshop*

or why does it and why can you build .gif in  *Photoshop*

thanks for your time.
