Material Icons not showing in MS Edge

[dryror]

Environment: MS Edge on Windows 10 vm from modern.ie http://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/mac/

Material Icons are not being displayed. I was able to reproduce by visiting the preview of the blog template:

EDIT:
Confirmed not displaying when defining the icon as:

<i class="material-icons">add</i>

Does display when defining the icon as:

<i class="material-icons">&#xE145;</i>

Not sure anything can be done about this as it may be a MS Edge "feature."

This an open issue with the font google/material-design-icons#179

@surma Should we add the fix in google/material-design-icons#179 (comment) or will we wait for this to be fixed upstream?

[surma]

@sgomes I guess fixing it on our side can do no harm. I’ll run a test shortly

This is actually related to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32061829/microsoft-edge-user-agent-from-modern-ie/32102663#32102663. Long story short, it's a bug with the modern.ie VM, which is providing the wrong useragent, and thus not getting the full CSS from Google Fonts. Switching your modern.ie VM to a non-mac version or using a real Windows 10 install should fix it.
