You can convert a font from a ready-made TTF using the font_convert utility from Adafruit. However, just creating a font is not enough, most libraries that work with DMD matrices cannot work with characters outside the standard ASCII table. You will need a library that can handle Unicode.

If you want to display non-scrolling characters and words, the LedControl library enables you to make any LED in your matrix turn on or off with a simple command,

lc.setLed(panel, x, y, state):

With this, you can make your own "font" of characters.

There is nothing specific in LedControl library, any DMD -like library can do this by command

dmd.drawPixel(x,y, color);
