If authors use this approach, it's arguably not an icon font in the traditional sense. If they do this, then their approach would pass the proposed SC automatically, so they wouldn't need any exemption from the SC (which I understood to be the topic here, from Detlev's message). So this would certainly be a potential technique (though it seems so much more hassle than just using something like <svg>, which would be the appropriate technology for this sort of thing) that can be mentioned. But it does not require anything in the normative SC text to be exempted or mandated, right? P -- Patrick H.
