 You can. It is made from two separate images, a "bitmap" of what is
shown, and what is not, and another bitmap of what is black, and what is
white.

 I'm not aware of any programs that can do this for you. You would have to
use the XLib calls themselves, and write your own C code to do it. Have a
look at;

     man XCreateFontCursor

 And it'll give you a small bit of information.
