Fontello -icon font generator
Fontello is a tool to quickly pack vector images into network fonts.You can imagine it as Twitter Bootstrap, but for images.It builds everything required to contain graphics on the webpage.In addition, Fontelo has a large number of built -in open source art collection.
If you like stories, there is an article about CSS skills here, telling how Fontello was created.
Why the icon font is cool
- Advantage
- The font is a vector, so there will be no pixelization or blurring on the high -resolution screen, and if the graphic is a grating figure, it needs to be enlarged.
- Browser support is what you need
- Once the system is in place, it is very convenient to use them.
-
It can be said that it is easier than sending pictures.
-
They can be controlled with CSS, such as size, color, shadow and so on.
-
limit
- The icon will be monochrome.There are some fancy multi -color technologies; however, in any case, modern trends and HIGS (human machine interface guidelines) are recommended to use a single color.
- Look at this beautiful demonstration, what you can use with icon fonts.
Why Fontello is open source and free
Fontello is a pet project, sponsored by RC Design.We do this just because we like programming and doing something interesting.
Please note that Fontello is a non -commercial project.More development time is an intentional choice.We would rather spend time to achieve the highest quality instead of making money.This is the main reason we choose priority for new features.
For example, sometimes people ask why Fontello does not provide user accounts to store projects on our server.The following is our thoughts:
Save key user data is a major responsibility.In order to maintain high -quality services, this requires investment, which also means to operate Fengtailo like a business company.Because Fo Tylo is positioned as a non -commercial project, we don't want to push it to business.
Users do not need account numbers, and need good import and export.This can be achieved in a better way:
- Each generated font bag has a configuration file, which can be loaded back to Fontelo to continue working.Just drag it (or the entire file) to the Fontello website.Or use API for your workflow integration.Easy.
- Use github to store your project and control changes.This is much safer to protect you.
Of course, we are always preparing to use some awesome things to improve Fengtaolo.Welcome to share your thoughts in our tracking system.We consider any ideas, even if it is crazy thoughts :)
