SQLite-based implementation for when static size exceeds Java limit #3

Doing a test with many fonts, I ran into a Java limitation:

"The code for the static initializer is exceeding the 65535 bytes limit"

So, outputting data as a static Java class is convenient when possible, but with many fonts it becomes impossible.

One way to handle many fonts could be an SQLite (or other) database file, to embed in the application, that would be read at first use.

The same database format could be used for issue 2.

We need a database with those characteristics:

small size overhead (kb used even when there is no data), but not necessarily very compact (kb used per kb of actual data)
fast when reading, not necessarily fast when writing
