WebKitGTK can't use linked font files.

[dumol]

I've tried using linked sub-directories under ~/.local/share/fonts, with relative paths:

$ pwd
/home/dumol/.local/share
$ ls -l fonts/                                                          
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 dumol dumol 30 Dec 22  2021 common-aliases -> ../../../fonts/common-aliases/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 dumol dumol 28 Jun 22 10:07 common-extra -> ../../../fonts/common-extra/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 dumol dumol 28 Jul 18 09:08 hidpi-aliases -> ../../../fonts/hidpi-aliases
lrwxrwxrwx 1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 dumol dumol 27 Jul 18 09:08 hidpi-extra -> ../../../fonts/hidpi-extra/

These fonts are available under FontConfig, working just fine in Firefox, but not on WebKitGTK.
