There is no information on the file to indicate what it is. Don't delete the file. If the file is gone, your copy of Fontographer is useless. To the credit of Altsys customer support, they were very helpful and had no reservations about sharing the above information. They also mentioned that Fontographer will not boot with MacsBug installed.
