If pDb != 0, call pDb->getFilename() to determine the path to the bim file associated with the *database*. 

The typical search order is as follows: 

1. The filename itself.
2. The current directory.
3. The drawing directory (for shx font, image, and xref files).
4. The Windows fonts directory (only for TTF fonts on Windows).
