How to Use PNG Font Icons

As cyber security is becoming an increasing concern for enterprises today, organizations have incorporated strict web policies within their corporate network that limit certain functionalities, such as downloading external web fonts.  

At VIDIZMO, we understand that our customers require a seamless video experience while complying with company policies but certain organizations have strict security policies that forbid downloading fonts from external sources, which can be because of the potential danger of malicious fonts carrying malware or injections via external files. 

To cater to this, we have enabled our application to use PNG font icon images, which are precisely cropped and carefully positioned, to provide you with an experience as close to perfection as possible, as it gives a consistent visual appearance to your branding while ensuring compliance with security requirements. If you notice missing font icons, please follow the instructions mentioned in this article to enable PNG fonts in your portal.

Note: Enabling PNG fonts can slightly affect your portal branding, given that a few icons might not switch to your primary color in the enterprise style guide.
