I'd like to use this too. Currently, my adblocker is blocking fonts, and fontawesome is a nightmare because icons everywhere are missing. How do you handle that?
- jdmichal 8y agoSadly, I don't. This breaks a few sites terribly, as I end up with random characters instead of whatever the "awesome" icon was supposed to be. Usually it's obvious enough from context what the icon should have been, and it just looks ugly.
- layoutIfNeeded 8y agoKeep sending them emails until they change it to SVG. Fonts are not supposed to be (ab)used like this.
- SquareWheel 8y agoIt's the user breaking the convention in this case. They're capable of fixing the page if they want to. Spamming the author with emails would simply be harassment.
- layoutIfNeeded 8y agoActiveX controls used to be conventional too. This dingbat crap also hinders accessibility, as you can’t specify alt text like you could for images.
- GoblinSlayer 8y agoWell, icons are not intuitive anyway, so it probably doesn't make difference :)
- Darkenetor 8y agoLike this, unfortunately: https://gitlab.com/Darkenetor/userstyles-userscripts/tree/master/CSS/default_fonts https://gitlab.com/Darkenetor/userstyles-userscripts/tree/ma... Firefox used to have an optional exception for icon fonts on the "allow custom fonts" switch which I found very sufficient. Not sure when it was removed or why, but that was a big loss.
