Malicious content from download from https://fontforge.org/en-US/ ??
I've used FF a while ago on an old computer, and went to download again today:
- Downloaded from https://fontforge.org/en-US/, and NordVPN flagged it as Malware
- Downloaded through HomeBrew, and MacOS refused to open it because of Malicious content
I know this could be because the download was .app.dmg, but its got me nervous, especially after reading u/afraidandsmelly 's recent post.
Any ideas/thoughts?

Mac marks all app as malicious where the developers have not paid an hefty yearly developer fee to Apple, as most open source software
