Copy and paste using a font editor. I have used FontForge (open source, free, Windows, OSX, Linux) and FontLab (commercial, Windows, OSX) in the past with good results.

If you only need to merge fonts then TransType from FontLab is a good option. I'm not affiliated, just been using that app for over a decade!
