I get this same problem with both the 0.2 and 0.3 versions (the message is 
slightly
different but both refer to EFS-fonts.

I resolved my problem with this, it appears to be related to the initialisation
process in ESFlib and an attempt to detect if it is running on a slot 2 device.

To reproduce: run DSWiki from a "standard" DS (slot 1) card such as R4 or 
CycloDS
while having a GBA cart plugged in at the same time.  This seems to cause 
references
to esf paths to fail.  I tested this using an ezflash V 3n1 cart.

To work around this bug, remove GBA carts when starting DSWiki (unless you are
running DSWiki from a GBA slot cart, in which case I don't think you will have a
problem).

Probably not all slot 2 carts will cause a problem, possibly just the ones with
storage options.

Turns out, it's a known bug...  (Noda is the dev for EFSlib) at
http://nodadev.wordpress.com/nds-projects/efs-library/

Sorry, I stopped NDS dev at devKitARM r21-r22, I don’t know if this still 
works… The
example may not works with R4DS if you have a ram pack, a supercard or gba 
memory in
the slot2. That was a bug I was supposed to fix long time ago… :(
