Better compatibility with design applications (Illustrator, photoshop...)

[daformat]

Wouldn't it be cool if we could use the font easily in desktop design applications like photoshop or illustrator ?

I found a few caveats that are definitely not helping:

• Since Foundation icon font uses private use unicode ranges it can be hard to find a convenient way to use the font in our mockups? Font awesome found a good way to deal with this problem with their cheatsheet which should totally be explored.
  As a quick fix for now and so everyone can easily use those icons in their mockups, I made a sample illustrator file (just open the pdf in illustrator) containing every icon, which you can copy / paste. This file was surprisingly painful to create, I had to dive into the font file so I could use every character.
• Another thing I don't understand and find annoying is the font name in the font properties. Right now it's "fontcustom". I would rename that to something like "Foundation Icon Font - something" so everything's crystal clear when you pick a font.

Maybe there's a good explanation about why things are this way right now, but I thought throwing my 2 cents and sharing the illustrator cheatsheet could help quite a few others.

Cheers

I concur. Need a cheat sheet we can copy and paste.
