OK, but that's too simple to be true. Therefore I have more questions. :-)

a) What about directories with afm files? Some afm files will be in the
   same directory with fonts, but some will be in the "afm" subdirectory.
   Are both cases covered?

b) I'm trying to make a binary package. So my installation script will
   have some idea about the fonts in the directories, but not the exact
   information. So it might happen that several directories will contain
   the same fonts. What happens in this case?

A lot of GTK criticals (more than 10) and then crash.
Criticals are assertions of three kinds: "face != NULL", "ctx->font != NULL"
and "src != NULL".

But I suppose this is the reason. I only mentioned it because I think that
needs to be mentioned in the README, not because I think it's a problem.
