Kendo UI for jQuery R2 2023 Roadmap - Font Icons

[AGB]

Hi Guys,

Have just been reading through the Kendo UI for jQuery R2 2023 Roadmap and the following statements from the 'Content Security Policy (CSP) compliance' section caught my eye

    - With R2 2023, we plan to replace all font icons internally used with SVG icons in order to address the font-src directive;
    - Further in 2023, we plan to detach font-related CSS from Kendo themes in order to remove the need for the font-src directive.

    Does this mean

    a) SVG icons will become the default set.
    b) Can this default still be overridden via the command - kendo.setDefaults('iconType', 'font'); so that all controls still render Font icons instead of SVGs.

    or

    c) Font Icons are being completely removed from Kendo UI for jQuery.

    Please could you advise on the above because if the answer is c) this will not be a 'Improvement' for me and I will have to make major changes to my usage and documentation to accommodate this change going forward.

    Regards

Hello Alan,

Thank you for reaching out regarding the Font Icons/SVG Icons and CSP compliance.  Please take a look at the following to help clarify each inquiry:

1. The SVG Icons will soon be the default set of of icons.
2. The kendo.setDefaults method can be utilized to globally change the default icons.
3. The Font Icons will not be completely removed.  A separate stylesheet will be provided for developers that wish to use the font icons. But, when this stylesheet is used, full CSP compliance will not be achievable due to the src directive.

I hope this information has helped answer your inquiries, but if not, please let me know.
