It is a fontforge [installation] problem:

    cd ./out && /usr/bin/fontforge -script emmentaler-11.pe
    Copyright (c) 2000-2011 by George Williams.
     Executable based on sources from 13:48 GMT 22-Feb-2011.
     Library based on sources from 13:48 GMT 22-Feb-2011.
    libz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Could not find the zlib library which is needed to understand WOFF
    Save Failed
    Generate: Save failed
    Called from...
     emmentaler-11.pe: line 52
    make[1]: *** [out/emmentaler-11.otf] Error 1
    make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

so you may need to talk to your fontforge maintainer.

You can try running the fontforge command above and see what you
need to do to get it to succeed.

Good luck, Jan
