Agreed, font icons are almost always associated with actions (buttons etc.) or status (e.g. on/off/paused) which need their own appropriate roles and attributes. I lead a team that made a large website fully AODA[1] compliant and we used font icons EVERYWHERE.

- sombremesa 6y agoWhat is "use my fonts"? I've never heard of such a thing.
- zimpenfish 6y agoFor when you want to use your own fonts instead of the (sometimes horrifying) choices of the webpage author - e.g. if you're dyslexic, have sight issues, or just want to use a font you can read more easily. Firefox calls it "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above." Safari lets you use a custom stylesheet to enforce your font choices - Chrome did too but it sounds like they've removed that option. In all 3 cases, I think there's extensions which will also do this for you.
