Hello everyone,
At yesterday's meeting it was asked what problems might be expected
for Option H [1] from overriding font family. So far we know icon
fonts disappear.
James has shared an elegant technique to address this problem. On
Issue 78 he wrote [2],
<quote>
We use role="img" on the element which has our icon fonts. This seems
like a good idea as it lets us write our font replacement selector to
exclude them i.e.
*:not([role="img"]) {
font-family: Comic Sans MS, Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;
}
<unquote>
I have added that to the Testabilty section of the Wiki page [3].
Kindest Regards,
Laura
