Seriously, don't use icon fonts
- joshstrange 11y agoSo the Opera Mini argument doesn't ring particularly true and looking deeper it appears that while it DOES rival iOS Safari worldwide it it used almost only in Africa. As far as screen readers go honestly trying to fully support these is nearly impossible IMHO. I'm not trying to say that Africa/Screen readers/etc don't matter but unless you are a massive international company I can't see supporting this being a good use of time. Most startups are barely making it by as is and it's a much better idea to support the majority of users. I'm really sorry if I'm coming across as harsh but trying to support screen readers feels like a never ending battle and unless you are doing business in Africa, Opera Mini doesn't matter. SVG might be better or just as good as icon fonts but icon fonts are BY FAR easier to use at this point. If you want to make a difference then produce a better/easier way to handle it instead of acting like icon fonts are pure evil.
