Loading fonts from specified folders #93

This idea has been floating around for quite a while now, but I seem to be the 
first one to actually put it into an issue form.

VSFilter has the ability to load subtitles from specified folders, but 
currently there's nothing it can do with fonts. So if a user loads an external 
.ass script with some fancy fonts used, in order to display it right he needs 
to install all additional fonts or use some sort of a font management program 
to load them into memory. Having xy-vsfilter to do this for him would be nice. 

I'm not sure if adding another folders list it's reasonable enough, specified 
subtitles folders might work just fine. But obviously, since loading a bunch of 
fonts can slow down the startup time for quite a while, this feature should be 
configurable - a single checkbox that would turn it on/off would suffice.

I suspect YuZhuoHuang will likely reject this idea, just like the font cache 
idea, because VSFilter has no font handling code to begin with.

It would be a handy feature, but you may have better luck requesting LAV 
Splitter or some other splitter implement this. For MKV splitters which can 
already load embedded fonts temporarily into memory, it should be easier for 
them to add a this feature than it would be for us.
