What Hacker News says

2 sources
No CDN, but there's multiple repos of people taking the FontAwesome icons and converting them over to SVG. Here's the one I used: https://github.com/encharm/Font-Awesome-SVG-PNG Also, the new "Font Awesome Pro" comes with all icons as SVG out of the box - https://fontawesome.com/ Last, one annoyance (in the midst of many benefits) of using SVG instead of fonts as icons is that you can't change their color via CSS if you're including them via <code>img src='file.svg'</code> So I use BoxySVG. Boxy is to Illustrator as Acorn or Pixelmator are to Photoshop. A tightly focused editor that lets you do simple things (like edit colors) very rapidly and doesn't bog you down with a ton of extraneous features. https://boxy-svg.com/
