[Icon] Use svg instead of icon fonts #5518

Open stevenbriscoeca opened 7 years ago

stevenbriscoeca commented 7 years ago

Hello,

I was wondering why use icon fonts instead of svg? I could not find any issue on this subject.

Thanks!

AFAIK Font Awesome 4 only comes in a webfont format.

stevenbriscoeca commented 7 years ago

No but why use don't awesome and not a SVG solution is my question

Font awesome 5 now comes with svg support. How can I integrate it into semantic?

Don't close

This would lead to shipping with a lot of assets and I don't think that would be a good idea for most people.

I too would like to switch to using svg icons to get around a Windows 10+IE11 bug when the Group Policy "Block Untrusted Fonts" is set that causes no external fonts to be rendered in IE11.

If Semantic uses Font Awesome 5, how do I switch to svg icons?

max-carroll commented 3 years ago

I personally want to use SVG icons as other libraries that I may want to inject icons into (e.g. MaterialUI expect an SVG icon). It seems however that semantic-ui uses font awesome anyway now, so perhaps I can just use that library instead of semantic.

Given this though, I suppose it makes sense that semantic-ui would allow SVG icons as props in their components, as this is the way other libraries (such as material-ui) have done it
