I've always wanted to make my own font, is there a font creating application which will have the following features?:

  • Ability to draw fonts with different tools (similar collection of tools to GIMP, the ability to change the thickness of lines, and layers)

  • Ability to import and edit already existing fonts in the ttf, eol, and svg formats

  • Ability to export fonts in the ttf, eol, and svg format

  • Ability to create name, description, copyright notice, and specify if it is a normal, bold, or italic, or bold and italic

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.

Birdfont is just the application for you then! Install it with:

sudo apt-get install birdfont

You can do all of what you have requested and more with it!

Description:

Font editor that lets you create outline vector graphics and export fonts
Birdfont is a free, open source font editor that lets you create outline
vector graphics and export ttf, eot & svg fonts.

Screenshots (but please don't judge the program by my bad drawing of the letter A where I should have drawn the letter B ;P):
