Missing material icon #742

Closed bardtian closed 8 years ago

bardtian commented 8 years ago

It seems there are some new material icons, for example "chat bubble outline" is not listed in Bootstrap material design. https://www.google.com/design/icons/#ic_chat_bubble_outline

Any idea for the new icon use in Bootstrap material design?

@bardpresent we are switching to the standard way of using md icons with the 0.5.0 release. You can try to do so now if you would like, though I'm unclear on what your results will be like:

http://google.github.io/material-design-icons/#icon-font-for-the-web

I'm hoping to have 0.5.0 out next week.

@rosskevin will you just include the URL from Google Fonts for the icons?

I think it sucks (just a bit) because this will make the icons unavailable for websites without internet access.

I'd rather wait for Google to wake up and put their iconic font on bower...

You can also embed them, it's not too difficult to grab this and include it a project: https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons

For sites that are built that have restricted access, this should be a normal type of thing to need to bring in their version of the font.

On the flip side for the majority of cases, using the standard url dramatically increases the likelihood of being in browser cache thus speeding up initial hits.
