- ricardobeat 7y agoInline SVG has several advantages over icon fonts, which were never meant to exist: - immediate rendering - multi-color icons without any stacking tricks - flexible styling - better aliasing, more consistent rendering - can be animated - easily load only assets used on the page vs a sheet of hundreds, most never used - works well with rendering libraries like React, makes manipulating images very easy - compresses well with gzip, no need for symbols It’s becoming standard practice for good reasons.
