The font file necessary to run the sharpmemorydisplay_simpletest.py was not present in the examples directory.

I tried this on my Sharp Display and it works.

But I noticed the error comes from adafruit_framebuf.py which has a default name for text font (font5x8.bin). This file is included in the adafruit_framebuf examples folder so I am not sure how the build script for the library bundle will react to having it in both locations? (don't have the tools to build the bundle installed yet).

I did verify the font5x8.bin file exists in the 6.x bundle in the examples folder.

@tannewt It's because this library is built on top of framebuf. I think it would probably help folks to include the font file. It's not like it really changes at all where we'd have to update it in multiple places.
