Mac OS Gatekeeper prevents launch without workaround #4082

After I updated the system version to Catalina, I found that I was no longer able to use FontForge. It seems that it doesn't ask for the authority to access folders and it shows below in each folder when I try to find font file to open.

Since FontForge doesn't request authority of accessing, I couldn't find it in system privacy&safety setting and authorize it... I don't know why but the +/- buttons under the authorized apps list are grey and not available to click, which might mean that I couldn't add fontforge to the list manually..

OS version is macOS Catalina 10.15.2, FontForge version is 20190801.
Thanks for your time!
