(Enhancement) Loading font directly from Memory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

To integrate freetype-gl in my software, i need to create font directly from 
memory.
So, i customize the library by adding to fields in texture_font_t :   

    const void * memfont;
    unsigned int memfontSize;

and change the texture_font_new prototype by : 

texture_font_t * texture_font_new( texture_atlas_t * atlas,
                    const char * filename,
                    const void * memfont,
                    unsigned int memfontSize,
                    const float size );

passing 0 to filename or (memfont and memfont size)

So, i had to customize 
   . some asserts => assert (filename) changed with (assert (filename || memfonSize)
   . and the texture_font_load_face core function. (see attachement)

Thanks and sorry for the long delay in my answer.

 It was a feature wanted by a a lot of users, I'll look into your code and integrate it.
Maybe it would be best to have two distinct function for texture font creation 
(one from file and and one from memory).

I second this request.  I had to manually implement it the same way as the op.

For the same reason this also makes font-manager unusable without modification.

Second the request. Also second Nicolas on two separate functions. Also might 
as well make the third function for FILE * handle.
