When you say it is important that the square is not transparent, do you mean that it should have a coloured outline and a non-transparent fill (using a different colour)?

Coloured fonts have limited application support.

Regular fonts can be black on transparent, or transparent on black.

If you make the background black, then the letter will be transparent. Will this serve your purposes? Download my Jivita Font and open it in FontCreator if you want to see how it's done.

Coloured fonts can be made with a white background, as in my Flags Fonts, but these fonts won't work in most applications like Adobe Illustrator.
