[Bug 1033765] [NEW] fontforge should be updated to 20120731 version

[Shriramana Sharma]

Public bug reported:

Hello. There has been a fontforge 20120731 release:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29620722
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29625605

Please update the Ubuntu fontforge package to this latest version. As
per the second message, the b-version is the one to be used as the first
version does not build on 64-bit systems.

BTW can we just remove the "0.0." from the versioning and have the
release date as the version like it is seen upstream?

Thank you.

P.S.: I have reported this upstream but have filed it here anyway for
the record. Have linked to the upstream bug too.
