It seems that there is still no straightforward way (see: http://mces.blogspot.ca/2015/05/how-to-use-custom-application-fonts.html) of loading fonts from memory in pango/cairo (used by default in Sciter). Skia backend supports that though.

You can select Skia backend by calling :

SciterSetOption(NULL,SCITER_SET_GFX_LAYER,GFX_LAYER_SKIA_CPU); // or
SciterSetOption(NULL,SCITER_SET_GFX_LAYER,GFX_LAYER_SKIA_OPENGL);

at startup. Problem is that Skia backend is not "native" for GTK so may work a bit slower.
