synaptic or apt (same thing for this purpose) will give you a
version of fontforge which will work, but which will give you a
warning message.  Ignore the warning.

You may want to try installing fontforge from scratch just for
giggles, though.  But that's not necessary to get things going.
(at least, it's not necessary not until

is done)

dunno.  Google around for "ubuntu windows network"; I'm sure
you'll find tons of stuff.
