Hi Régis,
The SVGs are only 853kB compressed (1.15MB uncompressed (6.30MB on
disk)), so size shouldn't be a problem.
License: Honestly I stopped worrying about licenses year ago; I've
already wasted enough of my life dealing with licensing. :-) The Pro
version includes several thousand extra icons and isn't GPL friendly, so
I'm just proposing using the free ones. The license for the free ones is
as linked
(https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/LICENSE.txt) -
I just take it at its word that it's "GPL friendly". But this is the
pertinent line: "In the Font Awesome Free download, the CC BY 4.0
license applies to all icons packaged as SVG"
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
I see paying plans and a free plan for private or non profit uses.
Given that QGIS is used for any kind of work, I don't think embeding
their SVG is covered by the available plans. That would break their
economic model wouldn't it?
Maybe you can contact them to see if this is possible?
Another issue to be taken into account is that the package size for
Windows has already reached the limits of the NSIS installer because
of the proj-data grids. That means we need to provide a different way
to install those additional resources. Resource sharing plugin does it
nicely I think but is not enough advertised. Let's spread the word
about it!
Best regards
Régis

Hi List,
Following from the discussion about ESRI Fonts on the OSGeo list,
I got
to wondering... could QGIS include the Font Awesome symbols -
https://fontawesome.com/icons ?
It's not actually a font but a huge set of SVG's - 1,150 in fact
(excludes the "brand" icons, which QGIS wouldn't want), most of which
are pertinent to mapping.
The License is "GPL friendly" -
https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/LICENSE.txt.
Cheers,
Jonathan
