Comment (by kencu):

 I'm sorry to hear that. I have it running right now on MacOSX Tiger 10.4
 PPC and it works just great, so it certainly runs on older systems!

 You are getting a divide-by-zero error, if that makes you feel any better
 to know what is happening.

 My first thought would be to build it from source on your hardware, and
 see if that works better for you:
 {{{
 sudo port -f uninstall fontforge
 sudo port -v destroot fontforge
 sudo port -v -s install fontforge
 }}}
 is how I would do that (destrooting it first often avoids needlessly
 building a great many build dependencies from source as well).
