I recently asked this question and I left out a few things. As I mentioned in that question, I have psd files for each letter as well as svg files for each letter. I do not want to use some other software for building the font. I want to go about a more hands on approach. How can this be done, if, it can be done?
Basically, I'm asking how font builder software outputs the font files as I want to skip the software.

Can it be done? Sure, I did exactly this in Javascript, where InDesign is only used to draw curves with. The rest is done entirely with Javascript.

All "font builder software" does is gather all the necessary information, format it according to the specification(s), and then write it out a file.

Read everything you can find on the specifications for the font type you want to create; Microsoft's, for instance, for OpenType/TTF flavor.
You also need to know how to convert your current images to the specific vector format for your font type of choice, for instance, TrueType instructions for a TTF or PostScript for a Type-1 OTF.

How? Basically, that question is way too broad for any forum I am aware of.
