[issue15306] Python3 segfault? (works in Python2)

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

How is the fix related to Python?

Also, you pass a unicode string to freetype.FT_New_Face.
You should probably pass a bytes string there, and in any case set the "argtypes" and "restypes" attributes to ctypes functions, to prevent such failures.
