Recent versions of FontForge expose a bug in old OS/X 10.5 X11 installs.
After doing this step it is a good idea to do
  <Apple menu>->Software Update...
and select
  Mac OS X Update Combined

Even better, putting the attached file in your home directory will mean
fontconfig (and therefore FontForge) will have access to all the
standard mac system fonts. (I think Apple should ship with this, but
they don't)

Actually you should not need to start X11 yourself (though you certainly
can). FontForge should start X11 if it needs to.
