How to make changes in the CartoDB icon font
If you want to edit, add or remove any icon in our CartoDB font, you should follow these steps:
- Check you have Sketch last version.
- Open font.sketch file and make your changes.
Rules for the icons:
- Size should have at max 500px of width/height.
- Place the icon accordingly with the grid.
- Icons should be completely black.
- Group the icon if it has several parts.
- Make icons exportable to SVG.
- Name your icon (layer/group) according to the pattern
icon-font_xx_Name, where xx is a unique integer (increase it for each new icon).
When you're done with changes
- Select all the icons, and export them to
app/assets/fonts/icon-font/svgsfolder (option should be visible in the bottom corner in your Sketch app):
- Take into account that
svgsfolder is ignored.
- Open your terminal app and go to the CartoDB root folder.
- Install your node dependencies:
npm install - Now we will generate the new icon fonts + stylesheet. Just run:
./node_modules/.bin/gulp - Check that your
icon-font.css.scssand thecartoIconfonts have been edited:
All done!
