This patch improves memory footprint by preventing fonts from being loaded eagerly into memory. Instead, it's possible to pass a file reference to a font, which will be used to load data from the font file when needed. This mechanism is used on desktop.
This patch also introduces a preloading mechanism, that makes sure we read from the font file once per a text fragment, and not for each glyph.
