In the fontforge source package fontforge-20120731-14.2.src.rpm is the patch
fontforge-python-module-name.diff that changes the names of the created python
modules from fontforge.so and psMat.so to python-fontforge.so and
python-psMat.so respectively. This results in python (2.7.9) not being able to
find these modules. Creating symbolic links via

ln -s python-fontforge.so fontforge.so
ln -s python-psMat.so psMat.so

seems to solve the problem - at least for me.

Why is there the above mentioned patch in the first place anyway ?

Either remove that patch or if you really insist on the name change fix python
module loading.

Kind regards,
Michael
