There is another option: Use fontforge (which is in Debian main) to convert from svg to ttf or woff. This is also what the grunt-webfont module does. We could just call fontforge in debian/rules and then not need grunt-webfont be packaged. Packaging it would be tricky because it depends on another eight nodejs packages which are also not in Debian. To do this use the generate.py script from: https://github.com/sapegin/grunt-webfont/blob/master/tasks/engines/fontforge/generate.py And, assuming you placed navicon-round.svg and search.svg in /tmp/ionicons/svg run the following: cat << END | fontforge -script generate.py { "types": ["woff", "ttf"], "fontFamilyName": "ion", "fontFilename": "ion", "dest": "/tmp/ionicons", "round": 10e12, "codepoints": {"navicon-round": 61697, "search": 61698}, "addLigatures": false, "normalize": false, "version": false, "descent": 64, "fontHeight": 512, "inputDir": "/tmp/ionicons/svg" } END The result will /tmp/ionicons/ion.woff and /tmp/ionicons/ion.ttf which will make the frontpage of the simple theme work. The other icons can be added in the same manner. Care just has to be taken to assign codepoints in the same order as in: https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/blob/master/searx/static/themes/simple/gruntfile.js Thanks! cheers, josch
