Just to give a bit more context, this is a font we'd like to add for our Synth Solar Monitor which we think provides a perfect way to fit 3 lines of text on the screen and 10 letters across (as letters are fixed width).

We were talking to Pär about it on email and he said that submitting a PR was the best thing to do - but let us know if any issues with that. Thanks!

@rohansingh @matslina - Is there any chance we could merge this PR for a new font? It's a font we made ourselves adapted from a free-to-use font (licensing here: https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/blob/master/LICENSE) and so no licensing issues.

We have a v2 of our Synth Solar monitoring app built and so this is the only barrier to putting it live. Thanks!
