Description
I tried this for the footer icons as part of 28542b5 and that seemed to work quite well. We only use a handful of the icons, and so rather than loading a 23KB font file, we can load a handful of SVG icons. This would also make updates easier as right now it feels a bit scary to change this since it's one file for everything and it's unclear which ones we actually need.
Proposed outline:
- Remove unused icon- utility classes, based on GitHub org-wide search for the class name (excluding false positives, such as from archived repos, and repos containing content that isn't themed by wordpress, such as
web-event
,irc.jquery.org
andbugs.jquery.com
, anddemos.jquerymobile.com
). - Reduce icon class definitions to only those that are used.
- Replace one icon- with an SVG version.
- Replace the rest
- Remove FontAwesome from repo.
