  Looking at font file content as mp4

Partly due running down a bug in the text{} object; partly to test 
yuqk's bool_object{} pattern with multiple objects (10 text{} objects 
here); I've created animations of some mono font files.

With each font I rendered an animation at 50 characters per frame for 
the entire Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) of 2^16 possible characters. I 
kept only those frames showing at least one supported character glyph 
and I created an mp4 with those frame images at 1 per second.

The thought is maybe this is a good way to review what characters are 
supported in a particular font alongside how POV-Ray is handling those 
characters.

Attached is an animation of the hack-r font. It's a popular linux / unix 
programmer's mono font.
