[AD] non-static read-only font

[Sven Sandberg <ssven@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I am writing an addon library that needs to access the default 8x8 font, no
matter if the user changes `font' to point to his own font (as the docs
about `font' suggest you can do to change the look of the gui). Would it be
possible to add a new variable for this, which is just a copy of `font' and
which it would be officially bad behaviour to change (ie something like the
attached patches)?
