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.
