He is wrong.
The command he provided is a simple delete of all the files that the
installer should have installed. If it doesn't work, it's not because Cygwin
refused to delete the files for no reason, it's because he's specified the
wrong paths in that command.

Basically, you need to find the files listed in the 'rm' command:
> $ rm -rf /usr/local/bin/{fontforge,sfddiff} \
> /usr/local/lib/{libgdraw,libgunicode,libuninameslist}*

> /usr/local/man/man1/{fontforge,sfddiff}.1 \
> /usr/local/share/doc/fontforge \
> /usr/local/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/FontForge.mo
and delete them. That's all the command does.
