I'd like the condition on the plain text to be relaxed. I would love to be able to use Unicode for creating basic interfaces. I would love to have basic interface elements such as a magnifying glass, "save" icons and external link to be part of the standard. Maybe they don't strictly find their use but for one people would find the use if they were there, and two, there are already (granted, grandfathered) elements that were used exactly for this purpose back in the era of plain text window interfaces.
- squiggleblaz 7y agoThere's the PUA. And I mean, it's not like it doesn't happen. See font awesome for instance.
- yoz-y 7y agoI use the awesome versions of fonts in terminal for power line and stuff. But that's kind of the thing, it can't be ubiquitous and easily reused. If every system had it's interface font it would make a lot of stuff easier. An example would be glyphs on buttons that are almost always the same.
