If you want to create an actual font package out of your designs, you are going to have to scan them in, then use a program like Fontographer to create a font file out of them.

Same company that now owns Fontographer also makes an inexpensive basic entry level font app called TypeTool

DL for free to learn and test drive. Pay to fully enable it. $99
Hey,thnx very much for info and i hope one i can easily make my own font directly in photoshop by scanning my design,no need for third party soft or plug in.

That would be nice, but if you are patient and don’t mind the work you can scan your letters in now, break them up one letter per layer.
Lay out the alphabet in 26 (or more) layers with the letters all in a row or two.
Use the MOVE TOOL with ‘auto select layer’ box checked.
Reach up and grab each letter you need, pull it down and set it in the proper place. If you hold the ALT key down you will pull a copy down and leave the original at the top of the page.
Lame, I know. But it will work.
… for headlines and such. Not for large blocks of body text.

If you are going to indignantly propose things outside of the bounds of the original question, then why stop at Illustrator?
