Is FontForge opened by running fontforge -v in the terminal?

I'm running Linux Mint Debian Edition :wink:

Is FontForge opened by running fontforge -v in the terminal?

Yes.

My fontforge version is: 20120731.b-4

I guess in that version, the command-line argument to get the system installed version is -version

Which version are you using? Because it seems I'm on the latest stable: Debian packages search="fontforge"

Hi! I've had the same problem (Ubuntu 14.10). I opened the extensions folder and then found the .../node/fontforge/parser.ff file and changed "fontforge -v" to "fontforge -version". Everything works for now (after this hotfix the app stopped its opening with Brackets).

Thanks, I'll release the patch in few hours.

As a matter of fact, I've probably found a small lexical mistake in README.md. Here: "You don't have to do nothing!" (line 11), when it would be more correct to say "You don't have to do anything!" =) You could add it to the patch as well.
