It's not a part of the official Cygwin distribution. So how can we 
know how to uninstall the program?

A sufficient problem description would be fine. What happens when you 
issue this command and why does it not uninstall the program?

On the other hand it really doesn't matter: the command just removes 
all the fontforge files. Why don't you do it by hand? It would take 
about two minutes of your precious time.
