    Sorry realized i Hijacked someone else’s string earlier.

    I was wondering if custom font icons were possible with this theme?
    I have created several of my own font icons and would like to put them into this theme.
    Fontello icon creator was used to generate a SVG graphic for my icons

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Mark,

    currently we only offer Google Fonts but we are plans to add custom fonts in a future update. So if you would want to use custom fonts you would have to include them manually in your wp-header.php file as well as changing the font-family values for certain css classes. The first step would be to create a child theme so you’re not losing all those settings when updating to a new theme. Tell me if you have any questions in terms of implementation or if you would rather wait till we ship our native solution for it.

    Mark B, perhaps this WordPress plugin will do what you want. I purchased it the other day and I will be testing it with X tomorrow. Iconize WordPress Plugin

    Iconize is a WordPress plugin for adding vector icons to posts, pages, menu items and widget titles visually, using simple and easy to use modal dialog. Plugin is built with WordPress best practises in mind and contains about 2000 icons which are crisp at 16x pixels ( except dashicons which are available in WordPress 3.8 and crisp at 20x pixels ).

    It says that you can add your own icon fonts to it.

    Hi Mr Pezatti

    Thank you for the info.
    Just wondering if you had time to test out this plugin?
    Any conflicts with X theme?
    Also were you able to create a custom font icon.
    I have used fontello.com to create my SVG’s into icon fonts.
    It does appear that this plugin allows fontello.com custom icon font generation.

    Thanks in advance

    Mark
