Summary0000478: virtualize tex font.characters table / reminder for taco/me
DescriptionOn the agenda is (mentioned in manual) virtualization of the font object. Some experiments with mimicking this demonstrate that this can indeed save a lot of memory and runtime. We will follow the same approach as with the fontloader:

- only virtualize top level keys in f.characters
- return tables for kerns and math data structures as one often needs them as a whole anyway (if at all)
- as characters becomes virtual we also need a maxindex so that one can loop
 
[on mk.pdf we can save some 20% max mem usage then but that is an atypical case]
TagsNo tags attached.

we can speed up the serialization a bit anyway (on the todo) so this might not be needed

no need as we can keep the original passed tables at the lua end anyway
