Créer une police d’icônes facilement à partir d’illustrations vectorielles
Les polices d'icônes ou "font-icon" popularisées depuis Bootstrap sont de plus en plus utilisées sur le web. Certains services proposent de piocher des icônes dans différents packs pour se créer sa propre "police". Dans ce petit tutoriel nous verrons comment, grâce au service en ligne IcoMoon, il est facile de se créer sa propre police d'icônes à partir d'illustrations et fichiers vectoriels. Une fonte-icône est tout simplement une police d’écriture dont on aura remplacé certains caractères par des glyphes représentant les icônes que l’on veut utiliser. Outre leur flexibilité elles permettent un gain de performance puisqu’il suffit de charger une police (un fichier) pour avoir accès à un nombre important de caractères.

Special Characters for HTML, CSS and JS
My name is Neal Chester and I'm a web developer and consultant. Sometimes I use special characters as an alternative to images; many of these characters I never knew existed. When I surfed the Web, I always ran into 3 problems with character listings: They contained tons of characters I didn't useThere was no one list that brought together all the characters I neededThe fonts were too small and the page was difficult to use So I made my own listing page containing the best HTML characters I felt would be useful to everyone, especially web developers. Rendering Characters As you'll notice, some characters will render differently depending on the browser. Depending on the browser, some characters won't display. Therefore, it's important to view the characters in different browsers and mobile devices to determine if you want to use that character. First of all, make sure you're using the correct unicode.
