Hello Raghav,

I am not sure why the browser should be an issue, since both windows and wp=
8 platform should use the very same IE under the hood, and on wp8 platform =
it is working.

I could take this problem to stackoverflow, but I guess they'd tell me it's=
 a bug and I should take it to the devs.

Kind regards,

Alexander

Betreff: RE: Windows Phone, platform "Windows" and icon fonts

Hi Alexander,

I looked into this and could verify the issue. However I don't think this f=
alls within the scope of Cordova, but an issue with the browser being run o=
n Win8.1 phone. I tried to look for solutions and found some potential hack=
s online. I think stackoverflow or something similar might be a better plac=
e to take this.

Subject: Windows Phone, platform "Windows" and icon fonts

Hello cordova dev team,

I have an issue with Windows Phone 8.1, the "windows" platform and icon fon=
ts. Since wp8 is deprecated, I thought I'd better switch to platform "windo=
ws". This came to a grinding halt because the icons are not rendered correc=
tly. The issue first showed in Sencha Touch 2.4.2, but I have made a minima=
l sample app to rule out Sencha Touch issues, which is available at https:/=
/na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=3Dhttp%3a%2f%2fwww.sdfe.de%2fsa=
mples%2ffonttest-cordova.zip&data=3D01%7c01%7crakatyal%40microsoft.com%7c6d=
08436656544290859c08d369b73316%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=
=3DEzAOcnU%2bGjbDRNehTY%2bLrBE0lLMdISTf%2bH9O5Ctom9Y%3d

The cordova version currently installed on my computer is 6.1.1 with platfo=
rms windows 4.1.0 and wp8 3.8.2 (deprecated).

For this test I just compiled the wp8 and the windows version using


-          cordova build wp8 windows

then opened both solutions in Visual Studio 2015, set the "Windows Phone 8.=
1" in CordovaApp.sln project as my default project, and deployed the two pr=
ojects to my phone (Nokia Lumia 535, Windows 8.10.14234.375).


*         In platform "wp8", the icon font is used to render the icons.

*         In platform "windows", a standard font is used (which looks reall=
y bad with icon fonts).
What should happen is that the icon font is used as well.

Kind regards,

Alexander
