Have you tried : https://cloudconvert.com/svg-to-dxf ?

They claims to support text in svg, and svgfont is just a way to specify 
exactly the glyph inside the svg instead of using a third party font and 
format (such as ttf or other)

Now, if you want to replace a filled drawing of a glyph with only its 
boundary, that's another problem.

I wonder if fontforge is able to load or import svgfont... seems to:
