If you have the fontforge python library installed, you can use the
script

#!/usr/bin/python3
from sys import argv
import fontforge
for file in argv[1:]:
    font=fontforge.open(file)
    font.em = 1000
    font.generate(file)



Usage is quite simple: Pass all OTF files as arguments, they are
modified in-place.
