[x3d-public] request: FontLibrary example

[John Carlson]

Here's a partial sample:

<FontLibrary family='myBitter' url='"
https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/bitter/v7/HEpP8tJXlWaYHimsnXgfCOvvDin1pK8aKteLpeZ5c0A.woff2
"'/>
    <WorldInfo title='AnchorMenu.x3d'/>
    <Viewpoint description='Default Viewpoint' position='0 0 3.5'/>
    <Group>
      <Anchor DEF='___AnchorMenu' description='../AnchorMenu.x3d'
parameter='"target=_self"' url='"../AnchorMenu.x3d" "
https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples//../AnchorMenu.x3d"'>
        <TouchSensor description='../AnchorMenu.x3d'/>
        <Transform translation='1 0 0'>
          <Transform translation='-2 1 0.5'>
            <Transform translation='0.05 -0.011 0'>
              <Shape>
                <Appearance>
                  <Material diffuseColor='0 0 0'/>
                </Appearance>
                <Text string='".."'>
                  <FontStyle family='"MyBitter"' justify='"MIDDLE"
"MIDDLE"' size='0.05' spacing='0.6'/>
                </Text>
              </Shape>
            </Transform>
            <Transform translation='0 0.01 -0.01'>
              <Shape>
                <Appearance>
                  <Material diffuseColor='1 1 1'/>
                </Appearance>
                <Rectangle2D size='1 0.1'/>
              </Shape>
            </Transform>
          </Transform>
        </Transform>

Castle says:

42 warnings:

Maybe we need Castle Model Viewer to support FontLibrary.
