You don't want to do a whence on the dirname, but on the basename. Basename is the name of the program that is running, less the path of however it was called. Whence will return the path to the basename.

mdbfontset
mdbFontset(5) The m17n Library mdbFontset(5)
NAME
mdbFontset - Fontset
DESCRIPTION
The m17n library loads a fontset definition from the m17n database by the tags <fontset, FONTSET-NAME>. The plist format of the data is as
follows:
FONTSET ::= PER-SCRIPT * PER-CHARSET * FALLBACK *
PER-SCRIPT ::= '(' SCRIPT PER-LANGUAGE + ')'
PER-LANGUAGE ::= '(' LANGUAGE FONT-SPEC-ELEMENT + ')'
PER-CHARSET ::= '(' CHARSET FONT-SPEC-ELEMENT + ')'
FALLBACK ::= FONT-SPEC-ELEMENT
FONT-SPEC-ELEMENT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC [ FLT-NAME ] ')'
FONT-SPEC ::=
'(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY
[ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]
REGISTRY
[ OTF-SPEC ] [ LANG-SPEC ] ')'
SCRIPT is a symbol of script name (e.g. latin, han) or nil. LANGUAGE is a two-letter symbol of language name code defined by ISO 639 (e.g.
ja, zh) or nil.
FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font.
See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.
OTF-SPEC is a symbol specifyng the required OTF features. The symbol name has the following syntax.
OTF-SPEC-NAME ::= ':otf=' SCRIPT LANGSYS ? GSUB-FEATURES ? GPOS-FEATURES ?
SCRIPT ::= SYMBOL
LANGSYS ::= '/' SYMBOL
GSUB-FEATURES ::= '=' FEATURE-LIST ?
GPOS-FEATURES ::= '+' FEATURE-LIST ?
FEATURE-LIST ::= '~' ? FEATURE ( ',' '~' ? FEATURE ',' )
Here, FEATURE is a four-letter Open Type feature.
LANG-SPEC is a symbol specifying the required language support. The symbol name has the following syntax.
LANG-SPEC-NAME ::= ':lang=' LANG
Here, LANG is a two or three-letter ISO-639 language code.
FLT-NAME is a name of Font Layout Table (Font Layout Table).
EXAMPLE
This is an example of PER_SCRIPT.
(han
(ja
((jisx0208.1983-0)))
(zh
((gb2312.1980-0)))
(nil
((big5-0))))
It instructs the font selector to use a font of registry 'jisx0208.1983-0' for a 'han' character (i.e. a character whose Mscript property
is 'han') if the character has Mlanguage text property 'ja' in an M-text and the character is in the repertories of such fonts. Otherwise,
try a font of registry 'gb2312.1980-0' or 'big5-0'. If that 'han' character does not have Mlanguage text property, try all three fonts.
See the function mdraw_text() for the detail of how a font is selected.
