Ticket #26333, comment 2
initial v1 7 7 Empireoflight created a great video tutorial for making Dashicons-style icons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HYAYZpSVbI&feature=share&list=UUmFVVQ7fcW2REzodxERiHHA Maybe we could see if he'd be interested in doing the same thing for creating an icon font? 8 8 9 A problem we might run into is finding a reasonable recommendation for developers to create their own fonts. We've been using Glyphs, which is paid software, to create the initial .otf for Dashicons (which we then run through fontsquirrel for a webfont). Services like IcoMoon will let you create a custom icon font for free. Hoever, I think when we tried using that, we ran into some issues with IcoMoon actually resizing the pixel grid Dashicons was built on. This le ad to some pixelated and distorted icons. We should give this a try again and see if it's still the case.9 A problem we might run into is finding a reasonable recommendation for developers to create their own fonts.
