hi Colin, I'm looking into the best way of doing this. Will report back shortly!

Can you elaborate on the means by which we should all be providing text alternatives for font-based icons, just so I'm clear?

For complex images, or those that do not require the responsiveness listed above, we should make use of either svg or raster images as appropriate. Guideline for using Font Icons: • Use PUA font icons • Provide a text alternatives for non-presentational uses • Add through CSS using classes • Apply the class to add the font icon to an element that will only contain the font icon • e.g. <span class="addFont"> font icon </span> where "font icon" would be the actual font icon displayed. Please let us know what you think about this proposal and if you have any more questions or concerns. _______________________________________________________ fluid-work mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://lists.idrc.ocad.ca/mailman/listinfo/fluid-work
