encode font as a string instead of an array

The attached patch encodes the font file as a string instead of an array and
lets me build muPDF on openmoko. I have tested that muPDF runs ok with this
patch on amd64 and armel but I can't be sure that the fallback font is actually
used.

However, the binary is still quite large (4.8 megabytes on amd64, 4.7 on armel)
-- would it be possible to make embedding fonts optional? In a debian package I
can use dependencies to guarantee that the font will always be available.
