fontforge - port installation

2013-11-04 Thread ugajin
I have an old version of fontforge, which was installed using a pkg installer. It had been been working fine, but now crashes during start-up. I can't think what I may have changed to cause this, save that I recently installed Macports and completed a MyPaint port. In any event, I am

The return of X11?
