[x3d-public] FontLibrary status

[Andreas Plesch]

Sounds good.

I have deployed a new dev version.

Please note that the download link for the dev version of x3dom has
migrated from x3dom.org/download/dev (not updated) to

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/x3dom/x3dom-dev/dist/x3dom.js (preferred)
or
https://x3dom.github.io/x3dom-dev/dist/x3dom.js

which is
automatically updated through
https://github.com/x3dom/x3dom-dev
for every merged PR at
https://github.com/x3dom/x3dom

The netlify link is obsolete.
