Icons : FontAwesome and Material Design

[mreynold]

Hiya,
I’m often finding I’d like an icon that is not included in the FontAwesome set “FA:”
Recently being rejected from the forced depreciation of Google AppMaker, I found the icons available there under their Material Design set, to be very good.

Material Icons

Given that anvil seems to like and encourage the Material Design approach (I do like it myself too) is there something I’m missing in how to use the set from there?

Looking at the onscreen hints, I see I can upload them one by one, or use a URL.

Surely it would be ‘rude’ to point directly to an icon url at material.io, if it works at all?

I also note that the material.io website mentions they are available as a git repository.
https://github.com/google/material-design-icons
So pending licensing requirements, and anvils’ love of git also, would these be possible to also be made available? Maybe they are already?

And last question, is this really not a Q&A topic, but it should rather be a feature request?

regards
Mark Reynolds

I’ve moved to feature requests. For now here’s a little hack that gives you material icons for your project.

self.label_1.material_icon = 'add'
self.link_1.material_icon = 'accessibility'
self.button_1.material_icon = 'add_shopping_cart'

Thanks Stu!
I’m in awe of you working on an Easter Sunday, and your ability to turn a request around so quickly without any fuss or bother! Thanks so much!
