Bug Description

Calibre 1.43, running on Linux.

If (1) you have two font directories, /usr/share/fonts/foo and /usr/share/fonts/foobar, and (2) foo is listed before foobar in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, then Calibre will ignore all fonts in directory foobar. In particular, fonts in foobar can't be embedded when polishing books.

The reason is this test:

https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/blob/master/src/calibre/utils/fonts/scanner.py#L85

Aside from the name conflict, the test is also wrong because it doesn't take into account symlinks.
