Here is the exact message I got:

### tex.configure: Latin Modern fonts have been installed but not yet 
configured.
### tex.configure: Preparing TeX for Latin Modern configuration...
### tex.configure: Configuring TeX to use Latin Modern ...
### tex.configure: Latin Modern fonts have been installed but not yet 
converted for GUI use.
### tex.configure: This script needs fontforge to be available in 
/usr/local/bin. Stopping conversion.

Again, I did not install the new FontForge since the date was the same 
as what I already have.
