I'm in pursuit of a very minimal skin setup and I am wondering
1> Is it possible to have more than a single font involved in a skin?
2> are there any good fonts which show icons instead of letters, kinda like windings but more program related?
On the latter, I am thinking that such a font would eliminate the need to draw icons for use in my program launcher within the skin. I had considered using the shape meters for this part but trying to draw multiple small shapes and make them distinct and intuitive would be ... problematic. My end game is to make the skin as minimally dependent on other files like images as possible.
Any ideas or input?
Thanx
