c++ app to create font using FontForge

I need a linux c++ program that takes an image as input and creates a font from that image. ## Deliverables The program will be a 'main' program that calls a function on a static library you create. input: image (gif, jpeg, png, tiff) This will contain each each character that is to be displayed in the font. font filename font description font owner output: the new font Step 1: break up the input image into multiple images. each character will always exist in the same location in the input image. Step 2: create bold version of the characters (can use imagemagik for this) Step 3: create underline version of the characters (can use imagemagik for this) Step 4: create bold underline version of the characters (can use imagemagik for this) Step 5: create the font that contains a normal, bold, underline and bold underline styles. to do this you can use imagemagik on the input image. eg: italics = skew the image contents underline = draw lines on the image bold = make the content thicker If you know how to make this also work for different font sizes that would be great. I need this to compile on linux so you need to write this using pure c++ code. NO C#. Thank you.
