Comment (by snowflake):

 I seem to have got a bit confused.  /Applications/FontForge.app is not a
 Macport!  Silly me!

 I realized this when I rebuilt glib2 with  `configure.cflags-append
 -march=core2` added to the Portfile. I then reinstalled fontforge from
 source and found that Fonforge.app still crashed.  I then noticed that the
 dates of the files were 6 months old.

 `/opt/local/bin/fontforge` does work with my customized glib2 and it does
 open the GUI - which crashes when scrolling, but that's another known bug.
 #57249 . It's probably wise to leave my customized glib2 Portfile in place
 so that there is no chance of building it with instructions that are not
 available on my processor.
