WebCore never releases GDI font handles (HFONTS)

WebCore (I think by design) never releases font objects.  However this can be a
problem when you're surfing for a long period of time (at least on windows),
since HFONTs are GDI handles, of which there are only a fixed number.

Turn on the GDI object column of the task manager (View->Select Columns...) and
then view the attached test case, to see Safari bloat up to > 2000 GDI objects
and never drop below that.
