Chess pieces addition #547

Request for an update of the font to include the merida chess pieces

I use this font to create a magazine for my chess club and the website; https://www.apronus.com/chess/diagram/editor/ to generate the diagrams as an SVG. Only problem was that there is no chess piece defined in this font.

Although , the unicode has chess symbols defined ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_symbols_in_Unicode

I find the merida chess symbols more clear ;https://github.com/vasiliyaltunin/chess-merida-font Those chess symbols have been transformed from a TTF to individual SVG's ; https://github.com/johnridesabike/merida-svg.

So i grabbed the individual SVG's and added them via FontForge , i didn't change anything just added the svg to the font. Renamed the font and used it in our magazine .

So the request is can i get a branch to add them to the two regular fonts the Serif and Sans them or will you guys create add this with a new update ??

I have added the SFD and OTF i use as a zip file
