My opinion is that the fonts are definitely not correctly optimised. I think they require some serious hinting, the anti-aliasing on a lot of the vertical lines is really really bad. Great idea and I applaud the effort, but Typicons need some serious work before I'd consider using them.
As already pointed out, reminds me of Font Awesome: http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/ http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/ - which did it correctly in my opinion and perhaps Typicons can learn a thing or two from that.
- kartoffelmos 14y agoTypicons renders a whole lot better on my Opera+WinXP setup than Font Awseome, especially on smaller sizes.
- typicons 14y agoWould love any pointers on the anti-aliasing side. Most of my testing was in webkit on Mac, and still need to make a few optimisations. Would love to here more from you. You can grab me on Twitter @Typicons.
- DigitalSea 14y agoNo worries Typicons, good to see you engaging with the community for feedback. Mac's tend to render things much nicer than their Windows counterparts where there are numerous things to consider like system anti-aliasing being different across different browsers and operating systems.
