svg2ttf
svg2ttf converts SVG graphics to TTF format. It was written for Fontello, but you can find it useful for your projects.
For developpers:
Internal API is similar to FontForge's one. Since primary goal is generating iconic fonts, sources can lack some spesific 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.
Also, library code can be browserified without problems. Use webmake or something similar.
Using from CLI
Install:
npm install -g svg2ttf
Usage example:
svg2ttf fontello.svg fontello.ttf
