Introduction to IconFont

IconFont is now more and more widely used, greatly increasing the diversity of web pages and solving the problem of retinal screen distortion. It is said that this private method (@font-face) was supported by Microsoft starting from IE4. Later, W3 also introduced this method in CSS2, but it was later deleted in CSS2.1, which is really a pity. Until CSS3, when it was introduced again, it was really good news.
For details, see: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/.

However, I am often asked whether it is okay to use it on the mobile terminal, but IE on the PC is fine. I can responsibly say: of course. The reason is mentioned above. @font-face was originally a private method in Microsoft IE, so it has been supported since IE4 (I have not tested it), but now the website supports at least IE6 and IE6 has been gracefully downgraded to normal browsing. When using a website, the UI restoration is no longer worth the effort to make it compatible. Moreover, it is indeed no problem to use it in IE6 in actual projects.

In a word, you can now safely and boldly use icon fonts (Iconfont) on PC and mobile terminals.
