Create a symbol font from SVG symbols

I want to create a package for myself, that prints custom glyphs (some glyphs for instance that I made up). How do I go with this? I see there're many packages with, for instance, Egyptian glyphs. How are they created? Can you give me step-bystep, something like:

  1. I need to draw all the symbols in .png or some vector format
  2. I need to use some software to bind this symbols to commands and put it in package
  3. Use it in LaTeX file

Thank for any help!

    It sounds to me like you want to create a font, not just a package. You want to look at metafont for that. – Matthew Leingang Mar 30 '11 at 23:43
  • The question this one has been duped to mentions SVG, but the same approach would apply to any other vector format. (I would not recommend making bitmap-based fonts or symbols.) – Joseph Wright Jul 17 '11 at 16:21
