Have you tried "brew linkapps"?

For the app to be built you need to brew install fontforge --with-x.

This could be messaged better in the options.

[adamv]

@jacknagel this behavior was changed in 2396dcf - any reason we don't want X11 to be recommended here?

[MikeMcQuaid]

@adamv We should start moving anything in core that doesn't have to depend on X to doing so optionally.

[adamv]

Added note to options; brew info fontforge.

[jacknagel]

2396dcf was effectively a revert of the changes in 0b50110, which was a compatibility breaking rename of the option
