Campbell, think you did some related fix recently, mind having a look at that one too?

Suspect this is an issue opening files using char *, since we're using FT_New_Face.

Probably the fix for windows is not to use regular file open, and call BLI_fopen, read the data, then call FT_New_Memory_Face.

Needs to be tested though.
