Good to document this issue. You could also add the BytesIO workaround in the doc. |

Resolves #3730
The issue reports
OSError: cannot open resourcewhen opening many fonts on Windows. This is a FreeType error that is thrown, presumably because on Windows, 'The C run-time libraries have a 512 limit for the number of files that can be open at any one time.'This PR suggests resolving this situation by simply documenting the limitation.
Also improved some other FreeType documentation while I'm here.
