You sent this yesterday already. With the aim of helping you (and out of 
curiosity), I am trying to find out which of your tools produces this 
strange error.

But we can only find this out if cooperate, because the problem is on 
*your* computer. Let me try again:

The configure script uses a relatively complicated piece of code to 
determine the version of fontforge that is installed. Normally this code 
does what it is supposed to do, that is, it produces something like

checking /sw/bin/fontforge version... 20080927

In your case, it produces some strange output instead. The piece of code 
in question runs first "fontforge --version" and then filters the output 
through "head" and "sed". Therefore I asked first what you get from the 
command

   fontforge --version

If the output of this was OK, the next step would have been to see if 
the "head" command is working correctly, for example by looking at the 
output of

   echo foo | head -n 1

If this gives anything other than "foo", the culprit would be clear.
