“Death To Icon Fonts” (2015)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xXBYcWgCHA

What's your opinion as a #WebDev today?

Did you find a way to address the issues presented while keeping #IconFonts?

Basically:
1. When our friends with #Dyslexia overrides your fonts, font icons turn into black boxes since the font they're using doesn't have support for those Unicode code blocks.

2. When screenreaders, or voice assistance, reads a site with icon fonts, they read the icon fonts really weird.

For No.2, a site with properly marked aria labels, or marked as hidden for assistive tech, is the solution I can think of.

However, for No.1, I can't think of a way since once the browser forces the user font, all fonts on the site will rely on the user's custom font.

The only other way I can think of is to provide an option to switch the site's font right from the website, so they don't have to override the site's font.

What's your solution?
