Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that nasm could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch sorts keys from a hash table listing fonts to ensure 
a stable file order when creating the postscript and pdf documentation. 
Once applied, nasm can be built reproducibly in our
current experimental framework.
