I don't like increasing our GNU lock-in, but at least it's not in libfontforge. I assume that you've tested the relevant codepaths?

The changeset appears to me to do the following cleanly.

  • Remove conditional execution based upon _ggadget_use_gettext.
  • Remove conditional execution based upon the property text_in_resource.
  • Remove functions that the passing tests confirm are usused.

The boat for not using gettext sailed decades ago, it's literally the only thing that works right now, so this PR is just removing dead code. GNU or not, no one would use GWW's method of internationalisation today.
