On behalf of Mika Saari, the famous Unicode Font support!

Further information is available here:

http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl/Blenderdev/UnicodeFont3D

Shortlist of features:

- Unicode character support for Font3D
- UI to select characters from Unicode character list
- UI to select Unicode table areas
- Optimized character loading (Load only those characters which are used
  in font object)

Please test extensively if it breaks anything, try also loading/saving
files, packing fonts, etc.

The official text regression file in the regression suite should be a
good start.

Thanks to mikasaari for this very useful addition!
