I am sure more than just I could use the following icons as they are pretty standard for internet fora. Hope one post for all of them is ok.

General Text Editor:

• Horizontal Rule Icon
• Text Color Selector / Palette Icon
• Text Background Selector Icon
• True Type Font Icon
• Glow Icon
• Shadow Icon

Internet Specific Text Editor:

• Marquee or Move Icon
• Blink Icon

Protocol Icons:

• AOL Instant Messenger
• Yahoo Instant Messenger
• Windows Live / MSN Messenger
• ICQ Messenger
• Xfire Messenger

OMG! :D

Dups

• horizontal-rule should (I'm not sure) a dup of Icon request: icon-horizontal-ruler, icon-vertical-ruler, icon-combined-ruler #1355
• text-color/palette is a dup of Icon request: icon-color-palette (icon-theme / icon-style / icon-color / icon-paintbrush) #244
• yahoo is a dup of Icon request: icon-yahoo, icon-google, icon-openid #75
• icq is a dup of Icon request: icon-icq #1272

Please +1 that request if you are interested in those icons

Already there

• true type font icon = icon-text http://fontawesome.io/icon/font/
• Since msn is dead, FA has icon-skype and icon-windows: aren't they enough?

Feedback needed

• Blink icon: is that an icon for the blink tag?
• Move icon: a hand?
• Marquee isn't icon-code http://fontawesome.io/icon/code/ ?

Other brands

Please split brand requests: create new issues for icon-aol and icon-xfire

@rienholt can you please post a suggested implementation for rulers?

[rienholt]

I totally forgot MSN was dead. I probably shouldn't have typed that out so late at night. Missed a lot fo dupes. Apologies.

Horizontal Rule:
Its used to indicate a large divider, usually between post sections. Icons are generally some big line stuffed between smaller lines. Examples:

Marquee/Move and Blink:
Move/marquee bbcode tag is for text that scrolls on the screen and blink is for the tag. An elegant implementation may not be possible in Font Awesome but I am not an artist so I wanted to suggest them in hopes you might have an idea. Probably something basic that would need to be animated with CSS. Example:

Marquee/move is usually shown as the letters abc or the letter M with an arrow under it pointing a direction.

Glow and Shadow:
Probably also difficult with Font Awesome.
