- tedunangst 11y agoYes. You get a long series of squares (maybe with hex codes if you're lucky) instead of icons. I try to avoid using such sites when possible. (this notably includes github and twitter).
- paradite 11y agoMaybe one alternative is to have fonts like Font Awesome built into the browsers, although I am not sure if that is practical.
- kuschku 11y agoOr that you download the font once, manually, and install it.
- adsche 11y agoI liked this comment [1] from earlier: Use ligatures. That way, a meaningful text could be displyed when the font is not loaded, but fuses into a symbol with the appropriate font. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10326630 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10326630
