Title: Crash when using character with umlaut

From the matplotlib-users thread entitled "problem with a umlaut" started by Ojala Janne.

```
-*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure( )

ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.hist([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10], bins=range(1,11) )

plt.ylabel(u'ä')
fig.savefig('test.eps')
```

Christoph Gohlke adds:

I can reproduce the crash on Python 2.7, 32 and 64 bit. Python 2.6 and 3.3 appear to work. The call stack is attached. The crash is in ttfont_add_glyph_dependencies() at
