Self-hosted version generator of Google Material Design icon fonts for web apps

This is NOT a fork of the material design icons by Google, including only the font files for smaller distribution.

This is a generator script which fetches iconfont from the original material design icons repo, converts otf fonts to woff, and makes it possible to use self-hosted version of the latest material design icons for web.

Fonts can be generated locally if this repo is cloned.

Local script usage

Clone the repo, cd into the project directory and execute from root

$ bash src/generate-iconfont.sh

Fonts will be generated in the ./iconfont directory relative to the project root.

Material design icons

Material design icons are the official icon set from Google that are designed under the material design guidelines.

Developer guide

Read the developer guide on how to use the material design icons in your project.

Using a font collection (recommended way as per Google)

The iconfont folder contains pre-generated font files that can be included in a project. This is especially convenient for the web; however, it is generally better to link to the web font hosted on Google Fonts:

<link
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>

Using self-hosted version

Install package.

npm i --save-dev material-design-icon-fonts-self-hosted-web
yarn add -D material-design-icon-fonts-self-hosted-web
