[x3d-public] FontLibrary status

[Don Brutzman]

Thanks for following through, Andreas.

I believe that the online 4.1 draft captures the state of discussion.There
have been no changes for a while, so hopefully we are at consensus and
resolution.

   - X3D Architecture version 4.1 draft, 15 Text component
   -
   https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4Draft/ISO-IEC19775-1v4.1-CD/Part01/components/text.html
   - 15.2.2.2 Font family and style
   -
   https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4Draft/ISO-IEC19775-1v4.1-CD/Part01/components/text.html#Fontfamilyandstyle
   - 15.4.1 FontLibrary
   -
   https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4Draft/ISO-IEC19775-1v4.1-CD/Part01/components/text.html#FontLibrary
   - Mantis 1490: FontLibrary node for font libraries and handling of font
   files
   - https://mantis.web3d.org/view.php?id=1490

I think it is a good idea to deploy FontLibrary in X3DOM and other dev
releases.  Working with example X3D models displaying FontLibrary fonts
interoperably will no doubt continue to be interesting.  Implementation and
evaluation is always an important stage of activity to make sure we "get
things right" for the long term.

all the best, Don
