There is no such font, because I create the icons directly.
Is there a way to insert icons that I create inside a specific font?

#22

Yes, not an easy task but doable for sure. You can use Fontforge to create or modify your own font file.

#23

Great! I try immediately, although difficult I want to be able to insert those icons.
I also know what type of font to modify.
Thanks so much!

Apparently there seems to be no solution.
With FontLab (another program who create and modify fonts) I tried to insert my icons in a totally new font, instead of not useful symbols inside the label text.
on the PC they see PERFECTLY, just as I wanted ā€¦ but in the app and also in the companion the icons are converted to SVG in black and white.
And if I try to insert colored SVG icons in the font, they are not displayed in the least.
I donā€™t know what else to do.

@Italo had a great idea

and concerning this

why donā€™t you just use a textbox and then pass the entered text to the webviewer to display it?

As a last resource, maybe you can ask extensions developers if they can come up with a label component capable of doing what you need. It may not be free though.
But if I were you, I think I would have to find an alternative way of displaying your information using what it is available in Kodular. Adapt your app to Kodular posibilities, and not the other way around.

Maybe this can help you

I donā€™t think so, because here the original user wants to insert self created images which I donā€™t think is possible with HTML(specifically in a Label)

#29

Italo in his next post he corrected himself saying that to do this you needed a PHP server and this was not possible with a webviewer

#30

you do not need a php serverā€¦

I am in fact using a textbox to insert the input to whoever uses the application. This input must then be inserted inside the label.
To recall the icons created by me, you must press buttons that will generate in the textbox the characters that recall those icons (if I change the font) or the code string.
In the webviewer, the problem of displaying the icons that the label will solve and will display correctly?
Why I repeat: on PC they see PERFECTLY, it is on mobile and companion that gives problems

I was thinking about the parameter passed in the url, like ?name=Italo&country=usa
I havenā€™t used html in a long time, so I may not remember if you can parse those without php. I thought you canā€™t.
