From a recent PR committee meeting (#5), I've raised an issue about possibly bundling more icon fonts for plugin developers. The poll ultimately ended up with a simple majority that prefers to bundle a complete icon set (such as Feather icons, Material Design Icons, Codicons) instead of keeping
icons.ttf
as minimal as possible.To ensure that more plugin developers would get involved in this decision, I'll put it up here so more people that aren't from Discord and from the PR Committee can vote.
Option 1: Accept icon requests
We'll accept icon requests from plugin developers, and merge them if they're deemed useful.
Pros:
icons.ttf
may remain small(er)Cons:
Option 2: Icons as plugins
This was suggested as an alternative to adding icons to
icons.ttf
. Plugins can add a dependency to icon plugins which provide icon fonts.Pros:
icons.ttf
would be minimal.Cons:
Option 3: Bundling more icons
We'll bundle a complete icon set.
Pros:
Cons:
icons.ttf
depending on the icon fonts bundled (ranging from several 10s of kbs to 1mb)14 votes ·
