Public bug reported:
calibre looks in wrong directory for font
$ ebook-convert x.recipe x.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):

IOError: cannot open resource

/usr/share/calibre/fonts/liberation/LiberationSerif-Bold.ttf because in
ebooks/__init__.py we have
# font_path = default_font = P('fonts/liberation/LiberationSerif-Bold.ttf')
$ ls -l /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation/LiberationSerif-Bold.ttf

$ ls -l /usr/share/calibre/fonts/liberation
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Feb 10 2012 /usr/share/calibre/fonts/liberation ->
../../fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation
$ ls -H /usr/share/calibre/fonts/liberation
ls: cannot access /usr/share/calibre/fonts/liberation: No such file or directory
So calibre includes a softlink that points to nothing; "ttf-liberation"
should be just "liberation".
