Need help, font source code?

[Grimmjow]

I have a college project where i have to make a text editor for the Arabic language however I am required to use bitmap fonts and to manually convert the byte data of each letter into pixels. The Arabic language has 28 letters and each letter has 3 different forms and sometimes even more . (This project is coded in eclipse using java)

Is there some way that i can give a program a letter and it can return the binary representation of the letter? Or is there some way i can access the source code of an already made font?

Otherwise ill have have to make my own font from scratch and that will take many ours that i don't have.

I think finding a program to automatically do what you are manually required to do might defeat the purpose of the exercise?

The project isn't making the font it is making the text editor we are allowed to get the font data from anywhere including online sources or from other class mates
