This is exactly how it works.

BTW, the proper way to solve the problem with the scene would be not to use
the absolute path in the first place.  A library path should be used in the
INI file.  For fonts putting the lib path in the povray.ini file would be
the best solution.  This would also allow others to use the scene without
modification.
