Sick. First time seeing a real custom ui. Respect.
so thanks Florian! it was so experimental for me, I must to use some hacks to build it. I hope we will see more plugin like this :)
That's pretty cool. We should build something similar using the Iconfinder API.
thanks Martin! its so nice to hear from you, I'm trying to build a SVG font parser to use it in sketch. I hope I can do that with a nice way. Any contribution, idea would be good for me.
Neat plugin! I'm having an issue with the material font icons, the FontAwesome ones show up but the material ones are just boxes with Xs in them. Any advice?
thanks Arjun! yea, did you installed material font? We've some problems about it maybe is it could be same? https://github.com/keremciu/sketch-iconfont/issues/1
I just use ⌘-C-V from Font Book to Sketch. It works really good for me with any already installed fonts.
yep, you're right Vitaly! it's another good way for designers. but you will be using two application at the same time and what the developer will do? how can he find it? I think this plugin would be a stable solution, if we build a nice way to use custom icon-fonts because I think we need to learn the name of the glyph. whatever it's still developing :) I hope we can do more.
Currently I use IconJar which works great, but I agree that it is much nicer solution to have a plugin in Sketch instead of having to go out to another application. So cheers!
Great tool! used it today a bunch already. Needed to update my local font files to V 4.4 on fontawesome though. The great thing is that it's obviously updated!
thanks Joseph, yep that's a good point maybe I can find a way to detect local fonts, it give us a chance to add "install the latest font" alert.
Nice! Thanks for building this! It'd be great to find a way to add in your own icon font to this, too.
yep, thanks Kurt! its really needed, I'd love to use my custom icon fonts. I hope I or someone will develop it soon :)
I did fork your repo and hack together something with our internal icon font this afternoon. It was hacky, but very possible for a non-developer like me.
yes I developed it like this to add more icon fonts. I have a solution with PHP but its not a good way. I need a nice way to add custom icon-fonts in interface. I'm trying to build it :)
great tool! thanks!
thanks Youlanda, I hope this can help you, when you use sketch :)
Life saver!
thanks RSS :) so nice to hear it, I hope we will see new features
