@mdi/font-build
Goal: Build the Material Design Icons SVG icons to a webfont.
Most notably this generates @mdi/font
, but is written to allow others to add custom icons or tweak the output.
CLI
By installing @mdi/font-build
globally one can generate their own webfont build.
# Install Globally
npm install -g @mdi/font-build
# Reads config from font-build.json
font-build
To run without installing use
npx @mdi/font-build
Input
Any version of @mdi/svg
v3.9.95+ will work with no changes. For earlier versions copy the font-build.json
and update the version: { major: 3, minor: 9, patch: 95 }
values.

Why is the SVG font not generated?
The .svg
format is very heavy font format not used by modern browsers, but it can be included. Simply append the --fontSvg
flag.
font-build --fontSvg
