Subject: [PATCH] Bypass rendering of missing glyphs. 1. on font initialization
 - creates font.missingGlyphs = string of all the available characters in the
 loaded font file 2. sanitize (to be valid regexp) and build
 font.missingGlyphsRegexp 3. on render process: if "part" (as defined in cufon
 call) has a missing char - then don't render it and pass it on normally.

This allows both non-rendered and renders fonts to be (unilke the original cufon which replaces non existing glyphs with $missingGlyph  (default blank))
