not as simple as just OCR and map though. Some letters want space above them some want to be placed lower.
take g and f and c for examples
g and f are about the same height but different ofsets, and c would look like a capital C if scaled to the same size as g and f. (we probably want to auto adjust scales to match more evenly unless the text is on a grid (in case removing the grid is the difficulty)
These are just the difficulty I found by trying to make a more automated input to fontforge.
