My apologies if this is a very simple question, but how do you use google material icons without a
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
?
I would like my app to be able to display the icons even when the user does not have an internet connection
Method 2. Self hosting Developer Guide
Download the latest release from github (assets: zip file), unzip, and copy the font folder, containing the material design icons files, into your local project -- https://github.com/google/material-design-icons/releases
You only need to use the font folder from the archive: it contains the icons fonts in the different formats (for multiple browser support) and boilerplate css.
Replace the source in the url attribute of #font-face, with the relative path to the iconfont folder in your local project, (where the font files are located) eg. url("iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf")
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.eot); /* For IE6-8 */
src: local('Material Icons'),
local('MaterialIcons-Regular'),
url(iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2) format('woff2'),
url(iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff) format('woff'),
url(iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf) format('truetype');
}
.material-icons {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 24px; /* Preferred icon size */
display: inline-block;
line-height: 1;
text-transform: none;
letter-spacing: normal;
word-wrap: normal;
white-space: nowrap;
direction: ltr;
/* Support for all WebKit browsers. */
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
/* Support for Safari and Chrome. */
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
/* Support for Firefox. */
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
/* Support for IE. */
font-feature-settings: 'liga';
}
<i class="material-icons">face</i>
NPM / Bower Packages
Google officially has a Bower and NPM dependency option -- follow Material Icons Guide 1
Using bower : bower install material-design-icons --save
Using NPM : npm install material-design-icons --save
Material Icons : Alternatively look into Material design icon font and CSS framework for self hosting the icons, from #marella's https://marella.me/material-icons/
Note
It seems google has the project on low maintenance mode. The last
release was, at time of writing, 3 years ago!
There are several issues on GitHub regarding this, but I'd like to
refer to #cyberalien comment on the issue Is this project actively maintained? #951 where it refers several community projects that
forked and continue maintaining material icons.
I'm building for Angular 4/5 and often working offline and so the following worked for me. First install the NPM:
npm install material-design-icons --save
Then add the following to styles.css:
#import '~material-design-icons/iconfont/material-icons.css';
The upper approaches does not work for me.
I download the files from github, but the browser did not load the fonts.
What I did was to open the material icon source link:
https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons
and I saw this markup:
/* fallback */
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: local('Material Icons'), local('MaterialIcons-Regular'), url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v22/2fcrYFNaTjcS6g4U3t-Y5ZjZjT5FdEJ140U2DJYC3mY.woff2) format('woff2');
}
.material-icons {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 1;
letter-spacing: normal;
text-transform: none;
display: inline-block;
white-space: nowrap;
word-wrap: normal;
direction: ltr;
-moz-font-feature-settings: 'liga';
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}
I open the woff font url link https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v22/2fcrYFNaTjcS6g4U3t-Y5ZjZjT5FdEJ140U2DJYC3mY.woff2
and download the woff2 file.
Then I replace the woff2 file path with the new one in material-icons.css
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.eot); /* For IE6-8 */
src: local('Material Icons'),
local('MaterialIcons-Regular'),
/* Old file: url(iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2) format('woff2'), */
/* load new file */
url(2fcrYFNaTjcS6g4U3t-Y5ZjZjT5FdEJ140U2DJYC3mY.woff2) format('woff2'),
url(iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf) format('truetype');
}
That makes thing works for me.
As of 2020, my approach is to use the material-icons-font package.
It simplifies the usage of Google's material-design-icons package and the community based material-design-icons-iconfont.
Install the package. npm install material-icons-font --save
Add the path of the package's CSS file to the style property of your project's angular.json file.
...
"styles": [
"./node_modules/material-icons-font/material-icons-font.css"
],
...
If using SCSS, copy content below to the top of your styles.scss file.
#import '~material-icons-font/sass/variables';
#import '~material-icons-font/sass/mixins';
$MaterialIcons_FontPath: "~material-icons-font/fonts";
#import '~material-icons-font/sass/main';
#import '~material-icons-font/sass/Regular';
Use the icons in the HTML file of your project.
// Using icon tag
<i class="material-icons">face</i>
<i class="material-icons md-48">face</i>
<i class="material-icons md-light md-inactive">face</i>
// Using Angular Material's <mat-icon> tag
<mat-icon>face</mat-icon>
<mat-icon>add_circle</mat-icon>
<mat-icon>add_circle_outline</mat-icon>
Icons from #angular/material tend to break when developing offline. Adding material-icons-font package in conjunction with #angular/material allows you to use the tag while developing offline.
If you use webpack project, after
npm install material-design-icons --save
you just need to
import materialIcons from 'material-design-icons/iconfont/material-icons.css'
This may be an easy Solution
Get this repository that is a fork of the original repository Google published.
Install it with bower or npm
bower install material-design-icons-iconfont --save
npm install material-design-icons-iconfont --save
Import the css File on your HTML Page
<style>
#import url('node_modules/material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/material-design-icons.css');
</style>
or
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/material-design-icons.css">
Test: Add an icon inside body tag of your HTML File
<i class="material-icons">face</i>
If you see the face icon, you are OK.
If does not work, try add this .. as prefix to node_modules path:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../node_modules/material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/material-design-icons.css">
Use material-design-icons-iconfont
Full disclosure, I'm the author of this package
Google's material-design-icons project is on low maintenance
and out of date for a while. There's a gap between the version in
https://material.io/icons/ and the version in
material-design-icons.
I've created material-design-icons-iconfont to address these major issues:
material-design-icons jams npm install - all irrelevant svg/xml/... files has been removed
Font files are always up-to-date straight from Google Fonts CDN
Support for scss
Install via npm
npm install material-design-icons-iconfont --save
It depends on how you pack your web application (webpack/gulp/bower/...), you'll need to import the .css/.scss file (and might change the relative fonts path)
Import Using SCSS
Import in one of your sass files
$material-design-icons-font-path: '~material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/fonts/';
#import '~material-design-icons-iconfont/src/material-design-icons';
Later on, reference your desired icon <i class="material-icons"> + icon-id + </i>
<i class="material-icons">contact_support</i>
read the full instructions on material-design-icons-iconfont for more import methods
Demo page
It comes with a light demo page to assist searching and copy-pasting fonts
To Avoid
npm i material-design-icons
Google isn't publishing any new version to their npm repository, so please avoid using the npm i material-design-icons since the last publish was 5 years ago.
To use
Download the needed font from their repo. you can ignore the .codepoints extension. Be aware, they do not have .woff2 and .woff type anymore, but .ttf or .otf works just fine.
Add them to your assets folder
Into a css file, do add the following
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
src: local('Material Icons'), local('MaterialIcons-Regular'),
url('/assets/fonts/MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf') format('truetype');
}
.material-icons {
display: inline-block;
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-size: 24px; /* Preferred icon size */
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1;
font-style: normal;
text-transform: none;
letter-spacing: normal;
word-wrap: normal;
white-space: nowrap;
direction: ltr;
/* Support for all WebKit browsers. */
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
/* Support for Safari and Chrome. */
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
/* Support for Firefox. */
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
/* Support for IE. */
font-feature-settings: 'liga';
}
Then add the .material-icons class
<i class="material-icons">face</i>
Angular users do not need to add .material-icons if they already use mat-icon
Outline & Regular at the same time
Both, outline & regular one?
Here is the step.
I'm using the scss #extend method for that purpose because I'm lazy.
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons Outlined';
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
src: local('Material Icons Outlined'), local('MaterialIconsOutlined-Regular'),
url('/assets/fonts/MaterialIconsOutlined-Regular.otf') format('truetype');
font-display: fallback;
}
.material-icon {
// Same content as the previous example without the `font-family`
}
.material-icons {
#extend .material-icon;
font-family: 'Material Icons';
}
.material-icons-outlined {
#extend .material-icon;
font-family: 'Material Icons Outlined';
}
<mat-icon class="material-icons-outlined" svgIcon="dark_mode-outline"></mat-icon>
My recipe has three steps:
to install material-design-icons package
npm install material-design-icons
to import material-icons.css file into .less or .scss file/ project
#import "~/node_modules/material-design-icons/iconfont/material-icons.css";
to include recommended code into the reactjs .js file/ project
<i className='material-icons' style={{fontSize: '36px'}}>close</i>
I have tried to compile everything that needs to be done for self-hosting icons in my answer.
You need to follow these 4 simple steps.
Open the iconfont folder of the materialize repository
link-
https://github.com/google/material-design-icons/tree/master/iconfont
Download these three icons files ->
MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2 - format('woff2')
MaterialIcons-Regular.woff - format('woff')
MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf - format('truetype');
Note- After Download you can rename it to whatever you like.
Now, go to your CSS and add this code
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(MaterialIcons-Regular.eot); /* For IE6-8 */
src: local('Material Icons'),
local('MaterialIcons-Regular'),
url(MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2) format('woff2'),
url(MaterialIcons-Regular.woff) format('woff'),
url(MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf) format('truetype');
}
.material-icons {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 24px; /* Preferred icon size */
display: inline-block;
line-height: 1;
text-transform: none;
letter-spacing: normal;
word-wrap: normal;
white-space: nowrap;
direction: ltr;
/* Support for all WebKit browsers. */
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
/* Support for Safari and Chrome. */
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
/* Support for Firefox. */
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
/* Support for IE. */
font-feature-settings: 'liga';
}
Note : The address provided in src:url(...) should be with respect to the 'CSS File' and not the index.html file. For example it can be src : url(../myicons/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2)
You are ready to use now and here is how it can be done in HTML
<i class="material-icons">face</i>
Click here to see all the icons that can be used.
2019 Update here:
To self host your material icons, the Regular ones, Rounded, Sharp, all the variants.
Go get them from this repo:
https://github.com/petergng/material-icon-font
For some reason I dont know why these fonts are not easily accessible from Google repositories.
But here you go.
After downloading the package, go to bin folder and you'll see the four variants.
Of course, it is up to you to use whichever.
To use them, create a css file and
Generate a font face for each variant you need:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(./icons/regular/Material-Icons-Regular.eot); /* For IE6-8 */
src: local('Material-Icons-Regular'),
url(./icons/regular/Material-Icons-Regular.woff2) format('woff2'),
url(./icons/regular/Material-Icons-Regular.woff) format('woff'),
url(./icons/regular/Material-Icons-Regular.ttf) format('truetype');
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons Round';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(./icons/round/Material-Icons-Round.eot); /* For IE6-8 */
src: local('Material-Icons-Round'),
url(./icons/round/Material-Icons-Round.woff2) format('woff2'),
url(./icons/round/Material-Icons-Round.woff) format('woff'),
url(./icons/round/Material-Icons-Round.svg) format('svg'),
url(./icons/round/Material-Icons-Round.ttf) format('truetype');
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons Sharp';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(./icons/sharp/Material-Icons-Sharp.eot); /* For IE6-8 */
src: local('Material-Icons-Sharp'),
url(./icons/sharp/Material-Icons-Sharp.woff2) format('woff2'),
url(./icons/sharp/Material-Icons-Sharp.woff) format('woff'),
url(./icons/sharp/Material-Icons-Sharp.svg) format('svg'),
url(./icons/sharp/Material-Icons-Sharp.ttf) format('truetype');
}
The url will link to where the icons are located in your project.
Now lets register the icon classes:
.material-icons-outlined, .material-icons {
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 24px; /* Preferred icon size */
display: inline-block;
line-height: 1;
text-transform: none;
letter-spacing: normal;
word-wrap: normal;
white-space: nowrap;
direction: ltr;
}
This will make both
.material-icons-outlined,
and
.material-icons classes use the same defaults.
If you want to to use .material-icons-sharp, just append it to the two class names.
Finally, let us plug-in the font face you pulled in from step 1.
.material-icons {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
}
.material-icons-outlined {
font-family: 'Material Icons Outline';
}
Again, to use more variant, like Sharp, just add its block like the two above.
Once done...go to your html and use your newly minted icons.
<i class="material-icons-outlined">hourglass_empty</i>
<i class="material-icons">phone</i>
After you have done npm install material-design-icons, add this in your main CSS file:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(~/material-design-icons/iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.eot); /* For IE6-8 */
src: local('Material Icons'),
local('MaterialIcons-Regular'),
url(~material-design-icons/iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2) format('woff2'),
url(~material-design-icons/iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff) format('woff'),
url(~material-design-icons/iconfont/MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf) format('truetype');
}
.material-icons {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 24px; /* Preferred icon size */
display: inline-block;
line-height: 1;
text-transform: none;
letter-spacing: normal;
word-wrap: normal;
white-space: nowrap;
direction: ltr;
/* Support for all WebKit browsers. */
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
/* Support for Safari and Chrome. */
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
/* Support for Firefox. */
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
/* Support for IE. */
font-feature-settings: 'liga';
}
With angular cli
npm install angular-material-icons --save
or
npm install material-design-icons-iconfont --save
material-design-icons-iconfont is the latest updated version of the icons. angular-material-icons is not updated for a long time
Wait wait wait install to be done and then add it to angular.json -> projects -> architect -> styles
"styles": [
"node_modules/material-design-icons/iconfont/material-icons.css",
"src/styles.scss"
],
or if you installed material-desing-icons-iconfont then
"styles": [
"node_modules/material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/material-design-icons.css",
"src/styles.scss"
],
On http://materialize.com/icons.html the style header information you include in the page,you can go to the actual Hyperlink and make localized copies to use icons offline.
Here's how.NB: You will download two Files in all icon.css and somefile.woff.
Go to the following URL as required in the header
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet"> .
Save page as whatever_filename.css. Default is icon.css
Look for a line like this
src: local('Material Icons'), local('MaterialIcons-Regular'), url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v22/2fcrYFNaTjcS6g4U3t-Y5ZjZjT5FdEJ140U2DJYC3mY.woff2)
Visit the URL that has .woff ending it
https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v22/2fcrYFNaTjcS6g4U3t-Y5ZjZjT5FdEJ140U2DJYC3mY.woff2 . Your browser will automatically download it. Save it in your CSS folder.
You should now have the two files icon.css and 2fcrYFNa....mY.wof22, save them both in your css. Now make edits in your css header location to the icon.css in your directories. Just make sure the .woff2 file is always in the same folder as the icon.css. Feel free to edit the long file names.
The question title asks how to host material icons offline but the body clarifies that the objective is to use the material icons offline (emphasis mine).
Using your own copy of the material icons files is a valid approach/implementation. Another, for those that can use a service worker is to let the service worker take care of it. That way you don't have the hassle of obtaining a copy and keeping it up to date.
For example, generate a service worker using Workbox, using the simplest approach of running workbox-cli and accepting the defaults, then append the following text to the generated service worker:
workboxSW.router.registerRoute('https://fonts.googleapis.com/(.*)',
workboxSW.strategies.cacheFirst({
cacheName: 'googleapis',
cacheExpiration: {
maxEntries: 20
},
cacheableResponse: {statuses: [0, 200]}
})
);
You can then check it was cached in Chrome using F12 > Application > Storage > IndexedDB and look for an entry with googleapis in the name.
Kaloyan Stamatov method is the best.
First go to https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons. and copy the css file.
the content look like this
/* fallback */
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v37/flUhRq6tzZclQEJ-Vdg-IuiaDsNc.woff2) format('woff2');
}
.material-icons {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 1;
letter-spacing: normal;
text-transform: none;
display: inline-block;
white-space: nowrap;
word-wrap: normal;
direction: ltr;
-moz-font-feature-settings: 'liga';
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}
Paste the source of the font to the browser to download the woff2 file
https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v37/flUhRq6tzZclQEJ-Vdg-IuiaDsNc.woff2
Then replace the file in the original source. You can rename it if you want
No need to download 60MB file from github. Dead simple
My code looks like this
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(materialIcon.woff2) format('woff2');
}
.material-icons {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 1;
letter-spacing: normal;
text-transform: none;
display: inline-block;
white-space: nowrap;
word-wrap: normal;
direction: ltr;
-moz-font-feature-settings: 'liga';
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}
while materialIcon.woff2 is the downloaded and replaced woff2 file.
I solved it using this package (#mdi/font) and importing it on main.js:
import '#mdi/font/css/materialdesignicons.css'
While I was also facing this same challenge on my angular material project, I came up with a working offline solution. save all the details.
After downloading the resource, just follow these steps on the README.md file
STEP 1
Copy the distribution into your project
STEP 2
import the stylesheets in your angular.json imports array
Example
`angular.json [
{
style[
"css/material.css", "css/icons.css"
]
} `
STEP 3
You should see your icons appear offline after your next auto reload.
Optionally, you can comment or take out this line https://fonts.gstatic.com https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght#300;400;500&display=swap https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons from your index.html file.
HAPPYCODING :)
I created an offline repository for ngMatIcons you can download it from this link. :)
Adding this in case it helps someone... This might not work for your use case, but it might work for someone. I have an offline computer where I use an app that uses materialize. I was also trying to solve this problem, but that github repo is huge, and I was having a difficult time following all the instructions. Additionally, the <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet"> tag was slowing the opening of my app on the offline computer, as it kept trying to download that file, but couldn't.
Here is what I did (working example at the bottom of this comment)
Download the file at https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons and store it as a local css file in your website directory. This file will require one modification, explained in step 3.
Add a <link> tag to index.html pointing to the file you saved in step 1. (For example, I saved https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons to assets/css/materialize_offline_files/materialize-icons.css in my website directory, then added this to index.html: <link href="assets/css/materialize_offline_files/materialize-icons.css" rel="stylesheet"> rel="stylesheet">.) Note: Make sure to add this link tag before your materialize.css imports.
Modification to file from step 1. If you look at the file at https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons, you'll find this line of css code for the fall back font: src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v139/flUhRq6tzZclQEJ-Vdg-IuiaDsNc.woff2) format('woff2');. Download the file at that src url, https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v139/flUhRq6tzZclQEJ-Vdg-IuiaDsNc.woff2, save it to the same directory as materialize_icons.css (the file from step 1), and change that line of code to: src: url("flUhRq6tzZclQEJ-Vdg-IuiaDsNc.woff2") format('woff2');
Working example (4 files):
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="assets/css/materialize_offline_files/materialize-icons.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="assets/css/materialize.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<button class="btn waves-effect waves-light">Hello!
<i class="material-icons right">send</i>
</button>
</body>
</html>
assets/css/materialize_offline_files/materialize-icons.css
/*
* File downloaded from https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons
* with slight modification (src url of fallback font)
*/
/* fallback */
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
/**src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v139/flUhRq6tzZclQEJ-Vdg-IuiaDsNc.woff2) format('woff2');*/
src: url("flUhRq6tzZclQEJ-Vdg-IuiaDsNc.woff2") format('woff2');
/**

* NOTE:: css src url attributes are relative to the css file,
* so store flUhRq6tzZclQEJ-Vdg-IuiaDsNc.woff2
* IN THE SAME DIR as this css file, for that modification to work.
*/
}
.material-icons {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 1;
letter-spacing: normal;
text-transform: none;
display: inline-block;
white-space: nowrap;
word-wrap: normal;
direction: ltr;
-moz-font-feature-settings: 'liga';
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}
Finally (remaining 2 files), make sure you have the files:
assets/css/materialize.min.css (download it from https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/1.0.0/css/materialize.min.css)
assets/css/materialize_offline_files/flUhRq6tzZclQEJ-Vdg-IuiaDsNc.woff2 (download it from https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v139/flUhRq6tzZclQEJ-Vdg-IuiaDsNc.woff2
I thought this would just eliminate the problem the call to fonts.googleapis.com slowing down my app, but actually the few icons I use are actually showing up on the offline computer now. I'm not sure if it will work for all the icons, but it is working for me.
Install npm package
npm install material-design-icons --save
Put css file path to styles.css file
#import "../node_modules/material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/material-design-icons.css";
By the way there is video available on youtube with step by step instructions.
https://youtu.be/7j6eOkhISzk
These are the steps. Download materialize icon package from https://github.com/google/material-design-icons/releases
Copy the icon-font folder and rename it to icons.
Open the materialize.css file and update the following paths:
a. from url(MaterialIcons-Regular.eot) to url(../fonts/MaterialIcons-Regular.eot)
b. from url(MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2) format('woff2') to url(../fonts/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2) format('woff2')
c. from url(MaterialIcons-Regular.woff) format('woff') to url(../fonts/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff) format('woff')
d. from url(MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf) format('truetype') to url(../fonts/MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf) format('truetype')
Copy the materialize-icon.css to your css folder and reference it in your html file.
Everything will work like magic !
I chose a lazy solution with apache to evade dissuasions:
<link href="https://MYHOST/gfonts/css2?family=Roboto:wght#300;400;500&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://MYHOST/gfonts/icon?family=Material+Icons|Material+Icons+Outlined" rel="stylesheet">
Add small apache plugin
a2enmod substitute
And in my apache config
AddOutputFilterByType INFLATE;SUBSTITUTE;DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css
Substitute "s|https://fonts.gstatic.com/|/gsfonts/|i"
SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyPass "/gfonts/" "https://fonts.googleapis.com/"
ProxyPassReverse "/gfonts/" "https://fonts.googleapis.com/"
ProxyPass "/gsfonts/" "https://fonts.gstatic.com/"
ProxyPassReverse "/gsfonts/" "https://fonts.gstatic.com/"
npm install material-design-icons
and
#import '~material-design-icons/iconfont/material-icons.css';
worked also for me with Angular Material 8
Added this to the web config and the error went away
