unable to visualize the image of the imported svg in icomoon app, neither in generated font (looks empty)

[prisca...@gmail.com]

Hi guys,

I am trying to generate a font glyph from a svg file (attached) that UX people send to me. 
The svg file in Gapplin looks ok, but when trying to upload it into icomoon app: it is empty. 

I ma not a web graphist so I do not know so much regarding svg format and constraints to make a glyph from it. I read from your doc that strokes or text is ignored. I have a svg with a image tag and some hexa data behind.. Not sure where the problèm is ? 

Any help very much appreciated ! 

Thank you in advance, regards

Prisca

Sorry I wan not able to attach the svg file.. Meanwhile, I get deeper inside and I am quite sure the svg in not a vector image but was created from a bitmap image since when I zoom over it I can see pixels. I am quite sure it is the root cause for it... ?

Yes, IcoMoon ignores bitmap content. You'd have to convert it to vector by drawing the lines/curves that make up your icon.

Thank you for your response !
Yes this is indeed what I understood also (I tried again then with the correct svg file and it worked well)
This let me think to an enhancement of the icomoon app: I am not an svg expert, but it could be create to display an error message for such non vectoriel svg file uploaded instead of an empty square ?
Not sure you are the right contact for such rfe

Thank you again and best regards,
