I can't get it to work either, but it's really a minor annoyance. The
system font path is ok.

ok I agree to these changes
the only stuff I disagree is for the user provided datapaths
I think we have to agree that we disagree here :)
(my rational here:

)
remember that the datapaths from $HOME/mame, are just searched for, they
are *not* created, so if a user does not want to use $HOME/mame, he can
just put her stuff in /usr/local
