Sorry, it's indeed too specific for the scope of this tool. Since this tool is open source you can fork it and modify it any way you'd like.
No problem at all, just thought I'd bring it up in case it was a roadmap item and didn't want to duplicate work, I'll let you know how I get on, thanks for a great tool.
Reading again your description, I want to be sure I understand it correctly. The tool already can take a CSS file and generate the C# code based on the glyph name from the CSS. Isn't this what you want? I initially thought you are referring to the CSS support in Xamarin Forms.
Could you please provide a clear example of what you mean? Something like: Step 1: select a font file Step 2: ...
I'd missed the css upload part, so apologies for that.
For instance, I upload FontAwesome.otf
If I filter for a single item for a example:
Glass https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icon/glass
static class IconFont
{
public const string Glass = "\uF000";
}
Adding font-awesome.css
produces
static class IconFont
{
public const string FaGlass = "\uF000";
}
So that will work.
Awesome!!! Let me know what if there's anything you think I can do in order to better communicate this important feature. It's described in the README and there's also a tool-tip on the "what's this for"
Someone else asked me about how the CSS feature works, so maybe there's something which I can improve.
I (think) I improved the explanation for the CSS feature, check it out:
I think the popup is a great addition
Might be too specific but for example I’m using Font Awesome in a web app.
I have a config page which allows you to select an icon via a picker. Icon Picker
This saves the class name (“star”) not the code (“\uf641”). When I use an api to retrieve this info and display in my Xam app I’d like to use the correct symbol based on the corresponding class name.

Feature Request: Pick a font and a css file and the tool generates a KVP or Dict that stores the mapping.
