LibreCAD does not support filled fonts.
We have single strike fonts, with constant line width, working like a pen plotter. They can also be made 'heavier' by changing line width.
But most, if not all, converted fonts are outline types.
ttf2lff is build with LibreCAD, when FreeType library is installed on the build system. So you probably need to build LibreCAD from source and have to fulfill requirements for ttf2lff to get your own tool.
I cobbled some HTML/PHP code together, to provide an online converter.
Sadly, after finishing it locally, it doesn't run on our server, because of some missing requirements.
Means I can't finish this yet, and I'm on tour the next couple days. If it is not urgent, you must not dive into building from source. I think I can publish a working online converter next weekend.
