How to create a font file(TrueType , OpenType , etc) based on bitmaps of characters

It is a homework for me to create a font file (like OpenType,which can be used in the Windows operating system). Given some bitmaps of different Asia characters, I have already extracted their outlines which are now represented by segments and cubic Bezier curves. The problem is how to put the information into the font file. I don't know whether the FreeType Project has this kind of module to layout font files. My problem is how to create a font file quickly and easily.

There is no such thing as quick and easy for fonts. Although there are free trials for automatically converting bitmaps to fonts (actually your assignment automated). Look for FontForge for the hard way. Look for FontLab for the lazy way.
