I was super stoked about Material Design font because it contains what seems like every character or icon in the world but the problem with that much information is inevitably filtering it down to what you need and searching the web for cheat sheets tend to, at least in my trials yield mostly incorrect icons.
It’s easy enough to render out a texture of these icons, and slowly search that for stuff that might be useful, but with so many pages to search and the likelihood for error or missing some, this seems like a really ineffective way to go.
I also use the site that Idz references. Often doing a word search of that page gets me what I want. Sometimes I find something close to my icon, then do a search for the various words in that icon’s name.
OH I see, left click on the icon itself in this cheat sheet and it copies the utf-8 instead… interesting.
Though no luck still seems to paste the equivalent of the hex code for me.
What’s an icon on here that you’ve used in the past that syncs up between Touch and the cheat sheet? Maybe I’ll check that on my end and see if there’s something specific to me going on.
@Ivan is there a good pythonic way to get the character code list for a given font? I’ve been kicking around the idea of making an icon selector… but I’d love a programmatic way to construct the list of those character codes.
To pick and icon scoll through the list of icons on the Material Design Icons Cheat Sheet. TouchDesigner 2020.40000 series of builds ships with version 5.3.45 of the Material Design Icons. The cheat sheet is located here: @mdi/font CDN by jsDelivr - A free, fast, and reliable Open Source CDN - The icon font library is often updated so make sure you are using the correct cheatsheet for the version included. Newer versions will contain icons not available in older versions, and may also replace some icons. (For TouchDesigner 2020.20000 cheatsheet, go to https://cdn.materialdesignicons.com/3.3.92/)
Oof, yeah sorry for the run around guys
I’ve just gotta get with the times and upgrade!
Latest 2021 version seems to work fine as you all have indicated.
Thats a tasty one. There is this repo which gives out endpoints but sadly it is not easy to filter which specific version, looking forwards if there is some kind of endpoint:
Well. I built this but it seems like I cannot get any Icon out of the textSop on 11180, but I think this might be the right path.material_design_selector.tox (121.9 KB)
Support searching, update via google endpoint for the newest code and simple drag/drop of the textTOP.
looks like the site currently linked via the material designs page in the wiki no longer points to a cheatsheat. The one @nettoyeur posted above still seems good
