SFont

Copperbox revision 480.

I've recast OTFont as SFont. The S stands for syntax - SFont has an explicit notion of a syntax tree for font files, whereas OTFont tried to stick close to a font files own representation as tables.

OTFont was hard work, I'm hoping SFont will be easier due to it being structured more like other syntax libraries. At the moment it is certainly neater, though I haven't covered all the tables that I did in OTFont (some of the tables I did do in OTFont we only done partially). Currently SFont can read the table directory, the head table, the loca table and can decode simple glyphs.
