I'd suggest building OTF (aka SFNT/CFF) versions of the faces in
fontforge directly from the sfd files.

It should be scriptable, but in the GUI choose Element -> Font Info and,
in that dialog, Layers.  There, click on All Layers Cubic.  Optionally,
within that same dialog, go to General and set the Em size to 1000.

I'd suggest doing Edit -> Select -> Select All and Element -> Correct Direction,
as well as Element -> Simplify and Element -> Round.

If you want CFF hints, with Edit -> Select -> Select All do Hints -> AutoHint.

You can then use File -> Generate Fonts and specify OpenType(CFF). 

In the Generate dialog, the Options button pulls up another dialog where
you can tweak the generation.
