  Well, fontforge isn't in the standard distro, nor the missing DLL that
you're looking for, so it'll have to be generic advice:

  Judging from an old thread I found(*), it looks like this DLL gets installed
somewhere under $prefix/lib that won't be in your $PATH setting by default; it
sounds like fontforge isn't aware of this difference between Linux shared
libraries and Windows DLLs.  See if you can find where it's got to and either
add that dir to your PATH or copy it (and any other DLLs down there) to
$prefix/bin.

    cheers,
