Instead of "ln" the directory, why not try "ln" the font file directly? BTW, Putting font file in memory card may cause iLiad reboot if you remove the memory card. I would suggest putting font file in "/mnt/free/fonts/".

Added:
There is some info in Wiki.

To check if font installed, use "fc-list". If the desired font name is not in the output list, then it's not installed.
