FontFaceException: We are missing some required font packages.
That can be installed with:
brew install fontforge

but fontforge already installed in my system macOS 10.12,

@2amedia I ran into the same problem with macOS due to the current issues with brew and a few other packages under 10.12. After updating XQuartz and installing FontForge manually from their website, I was able to use the package by adding FontForge's bin directory to my PATH.

For me, adding the following to .zshrc resolved the issue. Adjust for your FontForge install location.

PATH=/Applications/FontForge.app/Contents/Resources/opt/local/bin:$PATH

Fontforge must be callable by the command line. As @btushinde mentioned this means that it must be part of your $PATH environment variable.

However setting $PATH in ~/.zshrc will only set the path if you are using zsh. If you are using bash you should set this in your ~/.bash_profile instead.
