Create an icon font

[addyosmani]

An icon font is being worked on at the moment and we're hoping to ship it sometime soon :)
This issue is mostly a placeholder to remind us to include it.

Please skip SVG fonts in webpage loaders, since Chrome/Blink is dropping support for it; I don't see any need in browsers anymore.
Include WOFF2 when you get a chance please, since that seems to be the new hotness (Fx will support WOFF2 soonish).

I didn't think about anything but web-pages, thanks for the reminder @Dzonatas [edited my post above for dropping SVG support for web only].

Found this on https://www.reddit.com/r/MaterialDesign and just assumed it would be an icon font, since the icons are all monochrome. Was severely disappointed to find it as old school pngs.

Once this is an icon font, I can probably get rid of font awesome in my new stuff, especially things that implement https://material.angularjs.org/

I too was hoping to see this be a web font like Font Awesome.

Unofficial fonts here: https://github.com/FezVrasta/bootstrap-material-design/tree/master/fonts
Demo: http://fezvrasta.github.io/bootstrap-material-design/ (scroll down)
Some like battery seem off. I few others I did compare with seem OK. I didn't check kerning, print optimization, etc.

We're trying to make sure the Web font that gets released has high quality representations of all glyphs. Hang on in there and we'll hopefully have something to show soonish.

Another unofficial version: http://zavoloklom.github.io/material-design-iconic-font/
Without bug with battery icons and css-styles like FontAwesome
