I think there are two solutions (well, actually three):

- From Terminal.app, type in sequence, in case your shell is bash:

	DISPLAY=:0.0; export DISPLAY
	fontforge

(with return in between the two lines), and similarly if your shell is 
tcsh:

	setenv DISPLAY :0.0
	fontforge

See <http://www.misplaced.net/fom/X11/37.html>.

- From X11.app, type simply:

	/usr/local/bin/fontforge

- More GUI: in X11.app, go to Applications > Customize..., then add a 
new item:

	Name: FontForge
	Command: /usr/local/bin/fontforge

and use this new item from the Applications item.

Hope this helps,
