In my case, I'm running Nano-X/Microwindows which doesn't handle fonts
in subdirs and therefore requires them being all installed in the same
directory. This was actually inspired by Luca Ceresolis' Dejavu font
contribution.

In my opinion, letting default installation directory keep using font
named subdir but still configurable would cover most cases.
