font_by_name() calls _find_font() only on Linux systems (but not on other Unix systems). The attached patch fixes this bug.

Thanks for your report! Is the hard-coded path "/usr/share/fonts" really valid for all posix systems? Please provide a link to verify that.

Not necessarily, but it's not necessarily "valid" for all Linuxes either.
/usr/share/fonts is however fairly standard location, e.g. it is default font path for fontconfig on non-Windows systems.
