Thanks for reporting this issue. I found a similar bug report in Debian, so I have attached a bug watch. Looks like there was some work towards packaging a newer version, though nothing recently. :/

Status in fontforge package in Ubuntu: New Status in fontforge package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: FontForge is now being developed on github, so the homepage for the package should be updated to http://fontforge.github.io/ and the new repo is at https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/ . From the name of the files, the version in Wily is patched code from 2012, which is rather old. Simply updating to the newer code may fix a number of other bugs reported against the FontForge package as well, as there have been numerous bug fixes in the interim.
