Comment (by tessus):

 Please have a look at https://github.com/tessus/macports-
 ports/commit/dc6013224ca91ff937c62d0f887749a324872aca

 fontforge 20170731

 The Portfile can be improved so that `PYTHON_CFLAGS` and `PYTHON_LIBS` are
 not hardcoded.
 They should rather be set as follows:

 {{{
 PYTHON_CFLAGS="`${PYTHON}-config --cflags`"
 PYTHON_LIBS="`${PYTHON}-config --ldflags`"
 }}}

 I just do not know how to do that in the `Portfile`.

 I've also noticed that `sudo port install -vst fontforge [+python27]`
 abends in the `configure` phase for some obscure reason.

 However, it compiles and installs perfectly without `-t`.

 Please note that the OSX GUI app compiles correctly, but is unusable for
 no apparent reason. I tried to get some info about this issue upstream,
 but they couldn't help. I believe they don't care about the OSX GUI app
 anymore. This is the reason why I removed the configure options
 `--x-includes=${prefix}/include --x-libraries=${prefix}/lib` and replaced
 them with `--without-x`.
