Re: [Tiki-devel] font-awesome needs a tiki icon

[Gary Cunningham-L. <ga...@cu...>]

On this topic, since we switched to the default of font icons, I've been 
thinking we need a Tiki font :-). As you know, there isn't really a good 
match-up between button/link requirements and available icons in quite a 
few cases. IMO when we switched from images to fonts, it was a plus for 
aesthetics but a minus for comprehension. A lot of the icons' meanings 
aren't very clear without the tooltip, IMO. Using "B" for Blogs and "A" 
for Articles as admin "icons" also shows the problem, as does earlier 
talk about using stacked icons to get the meaning across. Of course it's 
probably no easy job to design and produce the font, but I think it 
would be great, if it could happen.
