Sorry to keep on replying to myself within this thread; if i hear no
objections in a couple days (or if i hear active encouragement from
other members of the team earlier), i plan to upload the new version of
fontforge (built from the git sources mentioned in this thread) to
unstable.

Please try it out and speak up before then!
