The problem seems to be that the absolute paths are broken, lacking
crucial slashes that mkfontdir does *not* automatically supply:
-p Specify a prefix that is prepended to the encoding file path
names when they are written to the "encodings.dir" file. The
prefix is prepended as-is. If a `/' is required between the
prefix and the path names, it must be supplied explicitly as
part of the prefix.
