Can I use icon fonts with native iOS apps?

• alz 14y ago
  good question. the font icons appear beautifully on retina displays, because they're vector. can't think of any reason they wouldn't work with a webview, but haven't tested this. in terms of native apps, i don't know, but will look into it

  They are standard fonts so if you can set the type, why not?

    Totally : > I won't say yes until i've seen and tested it though

    I ask because alz needs to know I care. That, and I'm lazy. Which alz also needs to know.

      Thanks, this is really good feedback. We will definately look into it

        When I did more active development of my iOS apps I was always on the lookout for good icons of this sort. Sometimes I would even do my own using a tool called ArtText2 from the image components they provided. I even sent them an email offering money for more components to build the icons from, which they never followed up on.

        Btw We can also provide individual icon svgs with the font pack if this is useful

          I'll get back to this when I get to overhauling the icons in my apps. Not sure when that is.

            hi there, i just wanted to let you know that we've tested these on ios, and in an upcoming release we are going to make it a piece of cake to integrate pictonic's icons into your ios projects. alan
