The default CDN where the font icon was being served from has been closed down.

Have a look in:

https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-Composer/blob/main/Composer/packages/client/src/setupIcons.tsx

Instead of undefined can pass your own CDN url as the first argument or another CDN such as https://res.cdn.office.net/files/fabric-cdn-prod_20240129.001/assets/icons/.

initializeIcons(undefined, { disableWarnings: true });

[ViktorDronov]

@henryallsuch what should be done with the recommendation provided in you comment?
could you provide exact steps

[Gamewalker]

Clone the Repo, change the file, build it yourself. But if you need to ask questions like that, you wont be happy

[ViktorDronov]

If you cannot answer normally mb you already not happy...
I`m not supper interested in building MS Products on which nobody from MS have any time to commit.
I expect use some working things, in a way how it should be done.
