Fixed issue #29 Editor doesn't support CJK

[marynate]

Editor now support CJK display

• Add Build option (scons cjk=yes) to bundle DroidSansFallback (34328 unicode chars) as default font to support CJK display;
• Add loading compressed editor font support, reduce debug build size form 28M to 15M
• Add loading multi-page editor font support (1x 4096-> 6x1024)

Nextstep:

• More control of CJK build size
• Dynamic font support (Runtime TTF)
• Multi-language editor
• IME support on Mac/Linux

I was thinking of exporting an editor setting to a font, so CJK support doesn't have to be a separate build, it doesn't have to come bundled with the engine, you just download it and install it with a simpe menu option.

TTF support in the engine would probably be more difficult, as you need a font cache to store the rastered characters, creating a single texture for each of them is really inefficient so you would probably want to create pages or something similar.

I like the idea that making the CJK font installable via menu would be better than separate build.
Also when multi-language support is ready, user can also download translation as necessary.

For dynamic TTF, I'm start investigating if there'll be serious performance/efficiency issues. (As many engines has implemented that, hopefully there'll be benchmark already )

add dynamic load a ttf fond is a good idea, wait for you

I know that in theory CJK fonts for display work, but what about IME?
