Finally the PDF was succefully generated on Windows! \o/

I have some observations:

. The demo print a lot of lines if the font is not found:

Exception at 0041F4B7: EFOpenError:
Unable to open file "fonts\FreeSans.ttf".
Exception at 0041F4B7: EFOpenError:
Unable to open file "fonts\FreeSans.ttf".
Exception at 0041F4B7: EFOpenError:
Unable to open file "fonts\FreeSans.ttf".
Exception at 0041F4B7: EFOpenError:
Unable to open file "fonts\FreeSans.ttf".
... infinitely ...

. The PDF was generated with some wrong chars (you can download it here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/135304375/test.pdf):

Greek: Ge?? s?? ??s
Polish: Witaj swiecie
Portuguese: Ol? mundo
Russian: ???????????? ???
Vietnamese: Xin ch?o th? gi?i

In the previous fppdf version, the PDF was generated about ~650KB, after
update it I get a PDF ~381KB. Is it OK?
