[FOP-2471] Relative paths in font-base don't work

• Type: Bug

Description

There is an inconsistency in how <font-base> is handled in the config file - and it's a regression compared to version 1.0. Before (in 1.0 and earlier), relative paths used to work, now they only work if prefixed with "file:".

What works:
<font-base>/full/path</font-base>
<font-base>file:relative/path</font-base> (e.g. "file:.")

What doesn't work:
<font-base>relative/path</font-base> (e.g.: <font-base>.</font-base>)

It's a minor problem because there is an easy workaround (adding "font:") but breaks existing setups...
