If it exists, it exists. Type

Code:
ls -la
in XTerm, and you will see that this directory already exists. Hint: A '.' in front of a file or directory name means that this file or folder is hidden, like the 'h' flag/attribute in Windows. So in order to see such files, you'll either have to use full directory listing in the shell (ls -la) or enable viewing hidden files/foldres in FileBox.

That could mean you do not have any font files (*.ttf) located in your /home/user/MyDocs directory. N900 supports both .ttf (TrueType) and .otf (OpenType) font formats. Check by issuing command:

Code:
ls *.ttf
