Create an icon font - Githubissues

addyosmani commented 9 years ago

An icon font is being worked on at the moment and we're hoping to ship it sometime soon :) This issue is mostly a placeholder to remind us to include it.

tomByrer commented 9 years ago

Please skip SVG fonts in webpage loaders, since Chrome/Blink is dropping support for it; I don't see any need in browsers anymore. Include WOFF2 when you get a chance please, since that seems to be the new hotness (Fx will support WOFF2 soonish).

tomByrer commented 9 years ago

I didn't think about anything but web-pages, thanks for the reminder @Dzonatas [edited my post above for dropping SVG support for web only].

Found this on https://www.reddit.com/r/MaterialDesign and just assumed it would be an icon font, since the icons are all monochrome. Was severely disappointed to find it as old school pngs.

Once this is an icon font, I can probably get rid of font awesome in my new stuff, especially things that implement https://material.angularjs.org/

bbodenmiller commented 9 years ago

I too was hoping to see this be a web font like Font Awesome.

@bbodenmiller, yeah... +1

tomByrer commented 9 years ago

Unofficial fonts here: https://github.com/FezVrasta/bootstrap-material-design/tree/master/fonts Demo: http://fezvrasta.github.io/bootstrap-material-design/ (scroll down) Some like battery seem off. I few others I did compare with seem OK. I didn't check kerning, print optimization, etc.

addyosmani commented 9 years ago

We're trying to make sure the Web font that gets released has high quality representations of all glyphs. Hang on in there and we'll hopefully have something to show soonish.

zavoloklom commented 9 years ago

Another unofficial version: http://zavoloklom.github.io/material-design-iconic-font/ Without bug with battery icons and css-styles like FontAwesome

Css classes like font awesome would go nicely with this.

+1. By the way, are you guys open to pull requests adding further icons (closely matching the current icon style of course)?

+1 1x_ios has only 24_24 and 48_48 size, which are too small or too big in the UITabbar icon

FezVrasta commented 9 years ago

nmstoker commented 9 years ago

The icons are superb, but is there any news on the icon font status? Several hints back in October (including this issue) and since then doesn't seem to have materialised :wink:

Is it days away or more like weeks/months?

addyosmani commented 9 years ago

Afaik, the icon font is close to being ready but I haven't heard an ETA for release. @jestelle might be able to provide more insight there.
