### The Objective

I wanted to convert some `svg icons` to `fonts` using tools like [icomoon.io](https://icomoon.io/app/#/select), [fontello.com](http://fontello.com) and [webfont](https://www.npmjs.com/package/webfont)

### The Problem / Why

If your svg containts `strokes` or any tags besides a single `path` e.g `polygon` `rect` `line` etc, you will get these errors when trying to convert them into fonts.

---

### Example

##### SVG

`Icon` -> <small>we will be using in this example</small>

![SVG Icon](../images/svg-icon.png)

`Code` -> <small>of the icon</small>

```xml
<svg
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
width="24"
height="24"
viewBox="0 0 24 24"
fill="none"
stroke="currentColor"
stroke-width="2"
stroke-linecap="round"
stroke-linejoin="round">
<rect x="3" y="3" width="18" height="18" rx="2" ry="2" />
<line x1="9" y1="9" x2="15" y2="15" />
<line x1="15" y1="9" x2="9" y2="15" />
</svg>
```

---

### Errors

When we try to convert this `SVG` into a font using one of these `SVG To Font` conversion tools we get the following errors.

| [icomoon.io](https://icomoon.io/app/#/select) error | [fontello.com](http://fontello.com) error | [webfont](https://www.npmjs.com/package/webfont) error |

<!-- ### WHAT HAPPENDS IF WE IGNORE THESE ERRORS? -->
### Ignoring The Errors
<!-- ### What Happends If We Ignore These Errors? -->

What happends if you ignore these errors? well, the font pack with the icon(s) will come out `"corrupt/incorrect"`, `different than expected` or `not even render at all` (blank).

### Results From Ignoring The Errors

> The icon not showning up or rendering in the font pack when we ignore the errors and just create the font anyway.

### The Solution

I created this `package` to solve this issue, now you can `"fix"` svg icons to make then font compatable by running them through `SVGFixer`.

### Fixing The Icon

The icon in a font pack after we run it through [`SVGFixer()`](https://github.com/oslllo/svg-fixer).
