This is really needed. Any chance this can get included?
ping @majodev
Why not simply npm install material-design-icons
?
If I needed local copy, one could do that ... this service offers way more functionality in terms of parsing the latest CDN versions hosted by google (material-icons) is also hosted by google but not included in this project. It should ... so we can use same mechanism.
I guess this implies a bit of extra code, since the icon font is not served via Google Fonts https://fonts.google.com/?query=material
Well ... what's weird: It doesn't show up in the google fonts list there; however, it is part of the API and static backend referenced the same way as other fonts on fonts.google.com
Bump.
It seems that material icons is now part of google fonts: comment-ref
https://github.com/google/material-design-icons#using-a-font
so maybe now the font can be added?
I am also interested in the material icons.
It seems like this project is dead, maybe someone else can fork it and continue development?
Thank you.

fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons
Since Material Icons is now part of Google Fonts, it now has a page. However, it strangely is not the normal page where you can download subsets, nor it it named "Material Fonts". It's just named "Icons". See here: https://fonts.google.com/icons Source: https://material.io/blog/google-fonts-material-icons
This tool shows no results for "icons" and "Icons" so this must be a special case. Also something interesting happens: the fonts.googleapis.com link will react to subsets (&subset=cyrillic, which exists!), text weights (:italic,bold,bolditalic) but says the specified weights don't exist (and there is no way of knowing without a proper Google Fonts page), and to browser user agent changes (woff2 -> woff1).
When you read this thread, then maybe this npm package is useful for you: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@material-design-icons/font It is always automatically updated and includes the woff2 files of the icon fonts.
Would be great to have this font included in the helper...
Is adding support for Material Icons something you can reconsider? Saw that #30 is closed. I am using google-fonts-webpack-plugin to pull the fonts at compile stage and would like to be able to also specify the Material Icons font. 😄
