how to embed google fonts icons
For some reason when i go to embed a google font icon, they dont seems to have any obvious way to actually use it, i can find the icons ok here. But then when i go and use it it links to a how to embed page, which just tells me how to embed a google font not the actual icon. Seems strange...
So i go here for the icons. And i find the icon i want to use.
Ok so i click on the "instructions" link which brings me here. Which just tells me i can embed google fonts. Great, so i have to google "how to embed google fonts icons".
So how do i actually embed the google icons?
(i almost gave up and went back to font awesome, but ill keep trying...)
Why do they not just add this to the icons page, maybe its there and i just cant see it.
Include this in your header.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
Then you can copy the embed code from the fonts site.
(why dont they just say that! /rant) (i know they are free i should not be complaining)
HTML
<span class="material-icons-outlined">
favorite
</span>Nope, still not working. CMon, is it that hard?
So basically you cant use the embed code provided, as it just displays the word favourite, or the selected icon name. Rather you have to use the font awesome embed way, and use a i tag with the class material-icons on it and then you can add the word of the icon.
Have fun with Material Icons, now that you know how to actually access them!

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."
I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
