AFAIK you can only have full URLs (not relative) that are simply internet links. Any relative path only works inside the epub.
I don't believe you can explicitly reference anything on the ereader (or host or an app). Any referenced fonts have to either have a reference inside the epub (a zip file) or no path, in which case the App, OS or ereader uses any matching font description in any location it can use automatically. Some Apps ignore font CSS. An ereader may fall back to another font if the reference one is neither embedded, nor "known" to the system.

Not all ereaders can have user added fonts. If supported there are rules.
