I asked fontforge upstream on if there is any way to make it installed
by their build system but unfortunately there is none.

Also it seems they are not yet sure about quality of this file ¹ and
they have not yet come to clear consensus on it. If some one can review
this file and say that it is okay to ship, I will include it in next
upload.
