Solution

  • You may want to install python3-fontforge.

    sudo apt-get install python3-fontforge

    After that you should be able to use fontforge in ubuntu's python version 3.

    You can verify by doing /usr/bin/python3 -c "import fontforge;print(fontforge)". This should now print the path to the fontforge python module.
