[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Thoughts about font implementation

For now, yes. (I'm using this in my own FontManager implementation in
the JamaicaVM, to load fonts from ROM instead of files. But this
requires the FontManager refactoring in Caciocavallo too...) I will most
likely add more alternative code paths on top of it later (for example,
for Font.createFont(InputStream) to not create a temporary file, or
generally for creating fonts using mmapped files instead of RAF,
possibly activated by a system property or so). I was thinking that it
would be easier to review if I send a minimal patch for the start.
