Font Icons in Xamarin.Forms

Stop the bitmap apocalypse!

Use custom fonts (such as FontAwesome) to create resizable, recolorable icons throughout your app 🤘

You should do this because:

  • Less image resources == smaller appsize
  • Fonts are rendered vectors!
  • Resize it by changing the font size!
  • Recolour it by changing the font color!
  • No more image density wrangling 💩 for Android.
