Hi Tomas,
I'm sorry for testing your patch so late.
For locale-specific fonts (which I was checking), m_fontfile doesn't contain
double slash, that's why it triggered the problem. It seems m_fontfile
for locale-specific fonts doesn't have double slash.
I wonder why you had any problems with double slash - it seems that any unix
allows any number of extra slashes in pathnames.
