The only version I see in Debian is fontforge-0.0.20041012-1.  The
fontforge_0.0.20040703-2.wf.1_i386.deb in the woody deb directory,
http://afavant.elte.hu/~wferi/debian/ looks to be even older.  Should
I try that, anyway?

I did.  Now it get this...

 $ make -C mf  get-pfa

SAUTER_FONTS seems to be null.  Adding /dev/null to the end of the
touch command works around that problem.  After that the build
completes.  

Thanks,
