It is no longer possible build a graphical fontforge using Homebrew (one 
can only run scripts and use the fontforge python module). Moreover, 
it's extremely difficult to build on a system where some of the 
dependencies were built by Homebrew. In short, if you're normally a 
Homebrew user, it's nearly impossible (at least, I gave up after a day 
of trying) to build a useful FF on OS X. Which is a pity, because there 
are a bunch of bug fixes and small improvements I would have committed 
if only I could build FF to test it.
