{{Hint|The latest font set can be downloaded directly from here using the [[File:UBIK-Standard.zip]] file.}}

{{Attention|UBIK-Standard is an Icon Font. Recommended text fonts for UBIK customizing is [https://github.com/jpt/barlow Barlow] on UWP or tablets, or [https://rsms.me/inter/ Inter] on mobile phones and smaller screens.}}

~~== 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~~ {{Attention|UBIK-Standardis an Icon Font.~~ttf in FontIcons~~For Xamarin, ~~and while using~~ the ~~"Label=" attribute~~standard Text Font is [https://rsms. ~~If encountering this issue~~me/inter/ Inter], ~~avoid using~~ which is included in the ~~Label attribute,~~ resources and thus available to use ~~the Glyph code as the Text attribute instead~~immediately.}}

==Usage==

UBIK-Standard.ttf is currently only supported for the Xamarin client.

===Xamarin Client===

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

===Xamarin Client===

The development of the custom icon font on the Xamarin client was hampered significantly by unexpected icon substitutions, which appeared to be vendor/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 for icons when the user switched tabs, leaving UBIK running in the background. In these cases, circular icon containers became square when switching back to the app, and the icon glyphs were no longer visible. However, using the GlyphButton and GlyphLabel elements (as opposed to simply Button and Label) seems to prevent this issue.
