Generate assets (developer)

# Preset for Ionicons v2 font via cdnjs (automatically fetches CSS for readable names)
ttkicons-ion-build --preset ion2 --version 2.0.1

# Or direct URL
ttkicons-ion-build --font-url https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ionicons/2.0.1/fonts/ionicons.ttf

Readable names

• The builder will try to fetch the matching CSS (ionicons.min.css) to map class names (e.g., .ion-alert) to codepoints.
• You can explicitly pass a CSS source:

ttkicons-ion-build \
  --font-url https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ionicons/2.0.1/fonts/ionicons.ttf \
  --css-url  https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ionicons/2.0.1/css/ionicons.min.css

Omitting metadata uses TTF-only extraction (needs fonttools).
