Mm, I'm browsing through the sources of the BeBook firmware, there's a tool called 'Fb2Linux', with a source file called 'fb2v.cpp'. In this source file something like

Code:
fontDir << "/fonts"
and

Code:
// init bitmap font manager
    InitFontManager( fontDir );
occurs; could it be that the system font directory is simply called '/font'?

I'm going to try it out, but I'm afraid it has to wait until tonight

(rats! To quick! The entire code block reads:

Code:
printf("home dir: %s\n", exedir);

    lString8 fontDir(exedir);
    fontDir << "/fonts";
meaning '/fonts' is a subdirectory below a certain home directory. Which can be anything. Bummer. )
