Its a nice plugin to use icon fonts in Sketch for developers and designers.
Now it supports font awesome, material and ion icons but sure, I would like to add more. Maybe we can create a custom icon font uploader, it would be so cool.
A Problem of the Designer:
When you want to add an icon from icon fonts, you don't need to find a cheatsheet to copy it in your design.
- You can easily add it now in sketch.
A Problem of the Developer:
When you want to learn name of the icon which is added from a designer, you don't need to look too much icons to find it.
- You can easily learn it now in sketch.
You need to install icon fonts to your OS:
For fontawesome: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/raw/master/fonts/FontAwesome.otf
For ion icons: https://github.com/driftyco/ionicons/raw/master/fonts/ionicons.ttf
For material icons: https://github.com/google/material-design-icons/raw/master/iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf
- You can install 'Sketch Iconfont' plugin directly.
- Download ZIP of this repo.
- Extract and rename folder to what would you like.
- Put the folder in your Sketch plugin folder (Use
Plugins > Reveal Plugins Folder
to find the plugin folder).
It's not working with sketch beta. Because sketch beta is not supporting NSFont.
- I'd like to add a search area in "add icon with list" command to easily find an icon.
- I'm trying to build a svg icon font parser to use custom icon fonts in sketch.
You can follow me on twitter to get updates about new icon fonts.
I've started to develop this plugin after https://github.com/keremciu/sketch-use-fontawesome this plugin. I'd like to add more icon font support. If you want to use a different icon font, you can create an issue about it. I hope you like it :)
