Perhaps fontforge?

Not exactly, because these fonts have been generated from the original
font files. The thinking is that they have been "compiled" from the
originals. But I'm not sure that's really the case here.

If you had to fix up stuff, and have forgotten exactly how you
generated the fonts, then I think the ttf files actually qualify as
"source" as far as Debian is concerned. Debian's definition of source
code is "preferred form of modification", which these files seem to
be.

I'm not familiar with these fonts so I can't say.
