The constructed font, or null in case of failure.
Remarks
You can use this method to create CGFont instances from an in-memory representation of the font (for example, to embed binary fonts into your application to prevent easy copying of licensed fonts, or when you fetch the font from a streaming source and do not want to store it on disk).
//
// Load font into byte array from a file.
//
var myBuffer = File.ReadAllBytes ("demo.ttf");
var font = CGFont.CreateFromProvider (new CGDataProvider (myBuffer, 0, myBuffer.Count));
