Subject: [PATCH] TextEditor: warm up fallback font cache on windows

Loading this fallback font cache takes around 300 ms the first time an
editor is opened. Calling QFontMetrics::horizontalAdvance and passing
0x21B5 in another thread fills this cache before an editor get's opened
and removes this delay for the first editor.
