FreeType uses a method to open files on windows that seems to be incompatible with unicode, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10075032/can-freetype-functions-accept-unicode-filenames. Another option then is to use
FT_New_Memory_Facewhich I've done here. I could have also read the file into memory but it seemed to me mmapping would be a bit lighter on RAM? Also, I'm not 100% sure if the way I immediately close the io after mmapping is correct, or if it should stay open for the lifetime of the mmapped array.Fixes #85
Reason for this PR were user reports where Makie couldn't load its own default font file due to special characters in the path.
