Correct! (I know for some folks they just like having all their static assets in one place so there's just a single point of failure.)

We'll add folks when everything clears through Kickstarter. Should be just a week or so after the campaign ends. Already have a huge start on things.

Appreciate the pledge! As it turns out, we get far more requests for brand icons than anything else. And you're right. It is a bit neglected. That's why we're re-doing everything. :)

Again, untrue. Please take the time to read: http://fontawesome.io/accessibility/

Honestly, the grid system in 4 is quite inconsistent, especially with vertical centering. But that happens over time with an open source project. Things wander each commit. Been jonesing to start over for a while. Super excited.

Pro is basically a giant assorted addon pack. It's Free +1,000 icons.

Font Awesome Free isn't going anywhere. Re-design is largely due to changing the base size to 16px which requires a re-design to keep pixel-perfection.

There are plenty of places to serve Font Awesome from a CDN for free. All the old options are there (and still listed in the documentation). https://www.bootstrapcdn.com/fontawesome/ isn't going anywhere anytime s

Mostly the base font size on the internet is changing. For instance, old Bootstrap 3 is 14px. New Bootstrap 4 is 16px.

Was there something in that link we're missing? We've had input from the top names in the accessibility world. (Happy to listen and discuss any specifics we're missing.)

Actually, we handle accessibility quite well already: http://fontawesome.io/accessibility/

Aw, thanks. We had a LOT of fun doing it.

16px grid system is the biggest reason. Currently, FA is at 14px. To do it pixel-sub-perfect, we'll need to do it all from scratch. Oh, and the icons aren't that consistent. It happens over time as you do 40-ish icons per release.

We're doing a lot more than just SVG support. Our goal is to make them as easy to use as icon fonts. That means you can auto-inherit color, size, drop-shadow, etc. And more. (And the SVG font file format automatically flips the icons.

Now that Pro is SVG, it's super-easy to subset yourself.

The licenses follow the person or organization. If it's for a personal project, then you'd want to have one. If for the company, then the company would want one. :)

I'll see what I can do. If I miss it, let me know. :) (And I'm assuming you're familiar with Font Awesome and think it's worth using.) Fonticons is for when you outgrow Font Awesome: - maybe you want to design and use yo

You're absolutely right. We'll get around to it soon. :) (As a rationale for why we haven't done it yet, about 95% of our visitors are on desktop. But we definitely need a good mobile version for the marketing side of the sit

Thanks! And _definitely_ let us know if there's anything we can do to help!

There are definitely some similarities with other services, no question. But we think about icons differently and we think we can solve the problem better. (For instance, you can copy and paste vectors directly out of Illustrator CC. And wa

Cache hits vs subsetting FA only is probably a wash overall. I don't have numbers for that specifically, but that's my strong hunch. As soon as you want to add your logo or use a different icon set, it's worth it. I think Fon

And there will be lots more where that came from. So many more. :)

You'll be able to contract out the designers directly who made the original icon set. No worries about quality because it's the same person who did the original. They'll match perfectly, and you'll be able to work with t

Works almost exactly the same way. Fonticons also has all the extra features Font Awesome has -- larger sizes, icons in lists, flipped, rotated, animated. And you can pare that CSS down to be just what you need, too. Speed, speed, speed.
