I had also noticed a similar behavior in the past with Fontin... the font
was not found in $TEXMFHOME tree. That was one of the reasons that I
started storing fonts in ~/.fonts (the other being that other applications
on Linux can also find the font).
I will try to see if I can reproduce that with the latest beta.
