Getting Started

Setting up MD Iconic Font can be as simple as adding one line of code to your website – it’s likeFont Awesome but with Material Design by Google. Also it plays nicely with Bootstrap 3!

EASY: CSS on CDNjs

Thanks to the cdnjs.cloudflare.com, you can use CDNjs to add MD Iconic Font into your website without downloading or installing anything!

  1. Paste the following code into the <head> section of your site’s HTML. 
    • code
    • source
    1. <link rel=“stylesheet” href=”https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/material-design-iconic-font/2.1.2/css/material-design-iconic-font.min.css”>

     Immediately after release, it takes a bit of time for CDNjs to catch up and get the newest version live on their CDN.

  2. Check out the examples to start using Material Design Iconic Font!

BASIC: Default CSS

Use this method to get the default Material Design Iconic Font CSS.

  1. Download latest version of Material Design Iconic Font from this site or GitHub.
  2. Unpack the entire material-design-iconic-font archive into your project.
  3. In the <head> of your html, reference the location to your material-design-iconic-font.min.css.

     The font path is relative from your compiled CSS directory.

Browser support

  • Chrome 21+
  • Firefox 22+
  • Opera 12.1+
  • Safari 6.1+
  • IE 10+
  • Android Browser 4.3+
  • Not supported in Opera Mini

In fact it can work in earlier versions of browsers accordingly to caniuse.com portal (you can check ttf, woff, transform and animation properties), but I can’t test it.
