I don't think this will work. you have to explicitely load them with
pdf:load-t1-font

Sure, but I don't think that fonts paths need to be specified in a document
description. Only font names. A better way would be to have a list of paths
to search them. Maybe a first pass to enumerate all the fonts in the system
and then a "load on demand" mechanism.
