https://icomoon.io/app/ allows you to pick only the icons you want to use and thus reduces size of the font icon file compared to FontAwesome. Maybe Pixelexit could come up with a version of FlatAwesome but instead of using FontAwesome, use Icomoon font set with only the icons required ?

Page speed performance and render speed will be improved too.
 
I thought I responded to this, while the idea is nice, honestly, this seems like it'd be quite the pain to handle on a style release level. The editing of the font file is nice but when you think I'd need to cater to every customer who may be running add-ons that add FA icons or they'll want to use a different icon for X it just seems like a nightmare to support.

Something like this seems best off handled via a custom work.
 
indeed seems like a lot of work though for page speed addicts seems worth it

only publicly guest derived fontawesome icons i derived via command below (but would of missed others that may need being logged in to figure out). Would be handy to have a list of all codes used in themes though.
Code:
curl -s https://community.centminmod.com/ | grep -Eoih class\=\"[^\"]*\" | fgrep 'fa-' | sed -e 's|^class="fa ||g' -e 's|\"||g' -e 's| Tooltip||' -e 's|class=||' -e 's|xbOffCanvasExpand fa ||' | tr " " "\n" | sort -u

those icons result in fontawesome woff2 file that is only 14KB in size !
 
Something like this then I'd just remove the Font Awesome call and include the custom font file, it seems easy enough as a template modification. I can help guide you if you want to give it a shot, should still work the same way I guess.
 
Yeah thinking of giving it a try, though I'd still be missing alot of codes referenced in html for stuff that only would show for logged in users or admin/mods ?? Started building my list at https://gist.github.com/centminmod/6b8dcd28870678b6a8753ef87077ba57

Don't suppose you have an easy list of all the 'fa-*' codes used in your themes ?

I can help guide you if you want to give it a shot,
Yeah if you some instructions for XF 1.5.x version of flatawesome+ :)
 
In the XenBase XML I suppose you could use some sort of regular expression in like notepad++ to extract all of the fa-icon codes but I'm not sure how to do that. Otherwise just searching the xenbase xml for all fa fa- icons and make a list from there. Not all are used for example social icons if you don't enable those social platforms.

Then Style Properties -> [XB] Misc Pages, make sure both: Use Font Awesome via CDN and Use Font Awesome via Locally are unchecked.
 
sweet.. might have got them all from the number of icons i estimate resulting woff2 file would be between 16-20kb !

from pixelexit fontawesome+ 1.5.20 xenbase XML file
Code:
cat style-XenBase-Parent-DO-NOT-EDIT.xml | grep -Eoih class\=\"[^\"]*\" | fgrep 'fa-' | sed -e 's|^class="fa ||g' -e 's|\"||g' -e 's| Tooltip||' -e 's|class=||' -e 's|xbOffCanvasExpand fa ||' | grep -v '{xen' | tr " " "\n" | sort -u

but missed some not referenced by class="" tags in XML file so need to find tune the extraction
 
couldn't find the icon for this one though corresponding name doesn't match for fa-flip-vertical

Code:
cat style-XenBase-Parent-DO-NOT-EDIT.xml | grep 'toggleClass'
        $('.xbOffCanvasContainer').toggleClass("marginLeft");
        $('.xbOffCanvasContainer').toggleClass("marginRight");
        $(this).children('.xbOffCanvasExpand').toggleClass('fa-flip-vertical ');

otherwise

also difference in fontawesome css

default

reduced

1546990469464.png


so for chrome for woff2 supported browser total size reduced from woff2 = 76KB + css = 31 = 107KB to woff2 = 20KB + css = 10 = 30KB ~71.9% reduction in size !
 
deployed it on my forums and seems almost there.. some of the conversation icons are missing though
