This is a bit more complex than it looks initially. The fonts must me loaded to the Nextion Display at build time, so we have to create a font with all the possible icons, in all the different sizes and load this to the TFT file when building it. And to make it worse, the fonts takes a lot of space which we don't have available... 😩

I was trying to create a large (70~100 pt) mdi icon font, but didn't succeed. Any hints on how to make these Nextion fonts from mdi would be greatly appreciated (So not custom, just bigger)

We use this tool, just changing the font size: https://github.com/edwardtfn/Generate-HASP-Fonts/blob/e1428f346777be69440f6bb00f1698815cb525d4/Generate-HASP-Fonts.ps1#L74

It creates a merging of two fonts, one for text, with ASCII chars only, and one for the icons, and merge both in a .zi file. You can play with that to generate only the icons, or even to use the custom icons you want, with the size you want.
