[xep-support] Font specification problem

I can't get XEP to respond to my font specification. No matter what I
do, it just uses Helvetica. I even deleted the Helvetica font files, and
it continued to somehow use Helvetica in the output.
I suspect that XEP is looking somewhere else for its font information,
and not in the directory that I specified in the xep.xml file.
I tried specifying the directory with an absolute URI, but this had no
effect.

Here's my font definition list. It is taken from the xep.xml file that
came with the XEP download; I just deleted the fonts I didn't need. Note
that Tahoma and Palatino are defined in the list. Note also that I set
default-family to Courier. This had no effect.

   <fonts xmlns="http://www.renderx.com/XEP/config"
          xml:base="fonts/"
          default-family="Courier">
     <font-group xml:base="fonts/" label="Windows TrueType" embed="true"
subset="true">

       <font-family name="Tahoma" embed="true">
         <font><font-data ttf="tahoma.ttf"/></font>
         <font weight="bold"><font-data ttf="tahomabd.ttf"/></font>
       </font-family>

       <font-family name="Palatino" embed="true" ligatures="&#xFB00;
&#xFB01; &#xFB02; &#xFB03; &#xFB04;">
         <font><font-data ttf="pala.ttf"/></font>
         <font style="italic"><font-data ttf="palai.ttf"/></font>
         <font weight="bold"><font-data ttf="palab.ttf"/></font>
         <font weight="bold" style="italic"><font-data
ttf="palabi.ttf"/></font>
       </font-family>
     </font-group>

     <!-- Required aliases -->
     <font-alias name="monospace" value="Courier"/>
     <font-alias name="sans-serif" value="Tahoma"/>
     <font-alias name="serif" value="Palatino"/>
     <font-alias name="cursive" value="Palatino"/>
     <font-alias name="fantasy" value="Palatino"/>
   </fonts>

Here's the listing of the fonts in the xep\fonts directory. Note that
Tahoma and Palatino, the two fonts I'm interested in here, are present.
(Note also that Helvetica is not present. I removed it to see if I could
force XEP to not use it as the default font, but this had no effect,
leading me to wonder if this is really the fonts folder that XEP is
looking in for its fonts.)
