I am trying to convert a .md file to a .pdf using a specific TTF font.
Pandoc doesn't work unless the .ttf is in the same directory as the .md 
file.  Is that normal?

This works:
pandoc in.md --pdf-engine=xelatex -V mainfont="font.ttf" -o test.pdf

I get a PDF in my specific font.

But this fails:
pandoc in.md --pdf-engine=xelatex -V mainfont="fonts/fontname/font.ttf" -o 
test.pdf

It gives the error:

Error producing PDF.
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
                   f
l.19 \fi

I know Pandoc can read the directory, because if I try to use a .ttf which 
doesn't exist, I get the error "! Package fontspec Error: The font 
"fonts/foo/bar" cannot be found."

Is this a bug, or me not understanding how to use Pandoc properly (a 
distinct possibility!)

Thanks
