Be sure i won't do that ;o)

To understand what happens, write an empty file containing only
<get-var GFONT_BASE>
So you can see what value is used by wml. In this case, you will see
this value is images/./path/to/your/file and this directory does not
exist. You have to replace the slashes by anything else (not space,
please):
-DGFONT_BASE~'../images/<subst-in-string <get-var WML_SRC_DIRNAME> "/" ":">.<get-var WML_SRC_FILENAME>'
