Fontforge installed but won't open (Yosemite 10.10.5)

[imlsw]

Hi guys,

I was installing FontForge by today's detailed guidelines. Installed XQuartz (2.7.7), installed FontForge (August 24 version). Everything went fine, except for FontForge which opens when I click on it but immediately closes. No error messages, nothing. I'm on OS X Yosemite version 10.10.5.

I have the same issue on 10.9.5.

This version of FontForge works for me:

Same here (osx 10.10.5 and xquartz 2.7.7): the August 24 version does not start, but the one linked to by delpech works fine.

+1 here, on OS X 10.10.5, XQuartz 2.7.7.

@delpech can't believe it actually worked, thank you so much!
