pykaraoke won't read fonts

[J.G.]

Dear,
i was making a executable icon for pykaraoke_mini.py downloaded from github.com.
I noticed that in order to make executable work i was needed to put both full path to python executable in Exec variable and Path variable. In oder case the executable doesnt work.

Example:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=pyKaraoke mini
Version=0.75
Exec=~/pykaraoke-master/pykaraoke_mini.py
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Path=~/pykaraoke-master/

I was questioning it, because the pykaraoke deb packet seems to be not working.
The reason that pykaraoke doesn't want to play karaoke (.kar and .mid files) is when i run it from terminal it gives me error message:

<type 'exceptions.IOError'>
unable to read font filename

so i guessed that python also can't find the path to the fonts used in playing karaoke files in pykaraoke binary.

I maked a test by editing pykaraoke_mini.py lines:
font = pygame.font.Font(os.path.join(manager.FontPath, "DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf"), 12)

self.thinFont = pygame.font.Font(os.path.join(manager.FontPath, "DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf"),

self.boldFont = pygame.font.Font(os.path.join(manager.FontPath, "DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf"), fontSize)

self.titleFont = pygame.font.Font(os.path.join(manager.FontPath, "DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf"), fontSize)

and

self.subtitleFont = pygame.font.Font(os.path.join(manager.FontPath, "DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf"), fontSize)

by putting a full path to the selected fonts, by example:
manager.FontPath, "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf"

and pykaraoke_mini.py executed with no errors, but it didn't want to play again because i think there are needed to be full paths entered in other portions of the code, in order to make pykaraoke function properly.

So i maked a conclusion that this is a linux bug.

Am i right or wrong?

Thank you,
greetings,
Igor

Removed symbolic links:
/usr/share/pykaraoke/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf
/usr/share/pykaraoke/fonts/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
/usr/share/pykaraoke/fonts/DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf

Copyed instead fonts in /usr/share/pykaraoke/fonts/

Works fine.
