What does

    file /usr/local/bin/fontforge

state?  This sounds like you are trying to run a 64bit executable on a
32bit kernel, or a 32bit executable on a system unequipped to do so
(missing essential libraries and loaders).  Or even have a complete
mismatch of architecture.

Maybe libfontforge-dev ?  No idea whether fontforge is called as
executable or used as a library though: only the latter needs the dev
package.
