Font Awesome Manager 1.2.7

View attachment 4472
XenForo uses the icoon font Font Awesome Pro 5 which contains a few thousand icons of which XenForo does usually only use a few hundred.

But as all icons are included in the CSS and font files, browsers have to download the full font files and CSS which does cause a significant overhead in most cases.

  This bugfix significantly increases the subset size (by a factor of two) for the duotone font which could lead to reaching the transfonter.org limit of 5000 characters a lot easier.

About one year ago I published the first public release of this Add-on (after about two years fully private development and some months closed beta testing).

Within that one year Font Awesome Manager seemingly has become somewhat popular and is now one of the Top 50 XenForo 2 Add-ons (ranked by the number of downloads).

I am happy that this Add-on seems to be useful for many users

So today I am publishing another bugfix / maintenance release to celebrate its first anniversay.

This Add-on will retire with the release of XenForo 2.3.0 as it is no longer required (and will not work anyway).

If you are upgrading a XenForo 2.2 installation to XenForo 2.3 please uninstall this Add-on before upgrading.
