Add SVG suggestions to complement icon fonts #18588

Closed patrickhlauke closed 7 years ago

patrickhlauke commented 8 years ago

http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/migration/#components should mention some SVG alternatives, rather than (or at least, in addition to) icon fonts.

Seems silly that the browser isn't falling back from OpenDyslexic to the icon font, given that all the icon codepoints should be in the Unicode Private Use Area where OpenDyslexic shouldn't have any glyphs. I guess the font override being used just sets something like font-family: OpenDyslexic !important; rather than prepending OpenDyslexic to the font-family lists?

Glyph offers SVG icons, and Linea and Open Iconic offer SVG versions of their icons too.

bastienmoulia commented 7 years ago

Octicons is already in the list and use SVG instead of font.

Do we really need to add icons when we have alternatives like font-awesome? I think we should focus more on simplifying the core...

bastienmoulia commented 7 years ago

@myorangeca It is only to propose alternatives to Glyphicons in the documentation, not in the core.

@patrickhlauke are you on it? Can I help you with something?

thiagotomasi commented 7 years ago

@mdo, should we proceed with this issue or not? 😄 I believe I can help with this.
