I actually had a Python 2.5.x around to test on, and it definitely was a 
matter of a feature that appeared between 2.5 and 2.6. I've removed 
that, and it should work now. Fr. Michael points out that the script 
doesn't run on Python 3.1: Python 3 retires the print statement! Thanks, 
Chris and Fr. Michael: I think it might just work in both versions now.

I've also removed a dependency on a very recent feature in FontForge.

New file attached; also as before on 
http://faculty.virginia.edu/OldEnglish/fontswith/fontswith.zip

Here's one more point. You can run it as a script in FontForge:

fontforge -script fontswith ~/myfonts adieresis

I hope it's useful to someone!
