It seems you need to create a script for that. A quick search gives me this http://jeromejaglale.com/doc/convert_pfb_pfm_font_to_otf https://fontforge.github.io/scripting-tutorial.html I've never did that, so I cannot help you more. But if you need to use a garalde font for headings try switching to Cormorant, a really good OFL licensed font full of OpenType features: https://github.com/CatharsisFonts/Cormorant The stylistic set 2 (+ss02) provides an even more "garamond" shape than the basic font.
