But - if I understood correctly - this totally defeats the purpose of
symlinks. If in a setup with
$dirfoo/gara.pfb -> $dirbar/gara.pfb
$dirfoo/gara.afm -> $dirbaz/gara.afm
OO.o finds gara.pfb, bug not gara.afm, because it first checks whether
by chance gara.pfb is a symlink, and looks in the target directory
$dirbar instead of $dirfoo, this is a bug in OO.o, IMO.
