Maemo binaries/packages are unlikely to run on anything except Maemo
devices anyway. Hence, using ifdefs seems better to me, than doing run-time

Generally, that the default font path is routinely patched by Linux distro
(Debian does it too), so we should perhaps do something more generic (using
fontconfig??).
