Font functions assume file system access to read font files - not available in AppEngine or Heroku

[Google Code Exporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
In environments like AppEngine or Heroku, we can't rely on file system access 
being available to the web app always. Trying to use fonts gives go runtime 
error of unable to access file resource

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If we can have generic versions of the Font functions that can be passed  font 
file data as a byte slice OR a Reader, we can use the font functions in 
environments where file access is not available.
