A friend of mine tried TomeNet 4.9.0, 4.9.1 but it can't use existent fonts.

On Linux you need to install the X.org misc fonts package. This is mentioned in the troubleshooting section of the guide. The *.FON files are used by the Windows clients so those are not going to help you.

PROBLEM 56: On a fresh TomeNET installation on Linux, the game will fail to
            start, giving a font-not-found error (usually about font '9x15'),
            like this: "Font not found: 9x15".
Solution:   TomeNET uses basic Linux system fonts (and allows you to switch to
            fonts of your own choice instead, if you want to). Some Linux
            distributions do not have these installed by default though, for
            example Antergos.
            Install the necessary fonts packages on your system, using the
            system's package manager. It should usually be 'xorg-fonts-misc' or
            'linux-fonts-misc'.
            On some distros (Archlinux too probably) you might have to install
            the 'xorg-mkfontscale' package.
            After installation, reboot your system to ensure they work.
            If there is still a problem, you could try installing
            xorg-fonts-type1 or awesome-terminal-fonts too. Maybe it helps.
