[python #LLR-954564]: MetPY -- adding/updating symbols

Greetings!

The font was originally created using IcoMoon:

  https://icomoon.io/app/#/select

by importing those SVGs and creating a TTF; some of the SVGs needed to be 
modified (clean up the paths in some way) to produce good results. 
Unfortunately, somewhere along the line the modified files and icomoon project 
file was lost, so updating the font to add those symbols will require 
recreating it from scratch.

I'm amenable to having the font updated, but no idea when we'll have the cycles 
internally to begin to look at this. Happy to see a community contribution to 
do it, or even better, find something more scriptable to do this.

Cheers,

Ryan
