This is an easy task with fontforge.
First, you want to open the font with the missing glyphs and select Element -> Merge Fonts. In this example, the glyphs for E and F are the ones missing.
Select the font from which you want to pull glyphs. You will be asked whether you want to keep the existing kerning; you most likely want to select No here, but if you get strange results close fontforge and try again with Yes.
The missing glyphs should be added in a few moments:
Finally, do File -> Generate Fonts and export your font to a desired location.

I have hundreds of ttf files to merge. Is there a command-line for that?

This seems to only work if the fonts are of a similar em height, otherwise the glyphs get all funky.

Is there a way to do this for specific glyphs only?

FontForge has python based scripting to automate many tasks. But I would have been nice to see a more detailed and updated answer.

This is an easy task with fontforge.
First, you want to open the font with the missing glyphs and select Element -> Merge Fonts. In this example, the glyphs for E and F are the ones missing.
Select the font from which you want to pull glyphs. You will be asked whether you want to keep the existing kerning; you most likely want to select No here, but if you get strange results close fontforge and try again with Yes.
The missing glyphs should be added in a few moments:
Finally, do File -> Generate Fonts and export your font to a desired location.
