Icon Font


Revision as of 13:30, 27 September 2019 by REP (Talk | contribs)

UBIK-Standard.ttf is a custom set of font icons developed primarily for use on the Xamarin Client, due to concerns over the legality of using Microsoft's Segoe MDL2 Assets icon font file on non-Windows platforms (ie. Android and iOS). Apart from this legal concern, having a standardized font icon set will contribute to having a more consistent look across the various platforms, clients, once UBIK-Standard.ttf becomes more widely used in both standard builds, and individual customizings.

Known Issues

The development of the custom icon font on the Xamarin client was hampered significantly by unexpected icon substitutions, which appeared to be vender/device-specific. To avoid this issue, the individual icons in the text file were mapped to the Hex codes used by the most basic alphabet and symbol characters.

A second issue was encountered where using unstable behavior was observed when using UBIK-Standard.ttf in FontIcons, and while using the "Label=" attribute. -Ask Liang-

Original Set

The first full version of the icon set was completed in September 2019. The following table shows the icons, along with a description of their intended purpose (some have multiple), and the natural language In-App Name, and Hex code, both of which can be used to call the icons using XAML.
