How to host Material Design icons offline?

I want to host Material Icons offline for my offline web development project (I will not have internet on the computer where is deployed). From my Google search, I found this SO answer. BUT it is Not working for me. My question is how to make it work. How to host material design icons offline for my offline project?

I have attached a .zip file of my SSCCE project, which reproduces the problem, here.

Basically I downloaded the MaterialIcons-Regular.eot, MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf, MaterialIcons-Regular.woff and MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2 from here and put them in my project's directory.

Here is my index file:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>
    <title>MaterializeTest</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="material-fonts.css" />
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="materialize.min.css" />

    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1"/>

    <script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="materialize.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
    <a href="#!"><i class="material-icons">chevron_left</i></a>
</body>

</html>

And here is the CSS file. 

@font-face {
   font-family: 'Material Icons';
   font-style: normal;
   font-weight: 400;
   src: url(MaterialIcons-Regular.eot); /* For IE6-8 */
   src: local('Material Icons'),
        local('MaterialIcons-Regular'),
        url(MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2) format('woff2'),
        url(MaterialIcons-Regular.woff) format('woff'),
        url(MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf) format('truetype');
}

.material-icons {
  font-family: 'Material Icons';
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
  font-size: 24px;  /* Preferred icon size */
  display: inline-block;
  line-height: 1;
  text-transform: none;
  letter-spacing: normal;
  word-wrap: normal;
  white-space: nowrap;
  direction: ltr;

  /* Support for all WebKit browsers. */
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  /* Support for Safari and Chrome. */
  text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;

  /* Support for Firefox. */
  -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;

  /* Support for IE. */
  font-feature-settings: 'liga';
}
Solution

  • I think you downloaded wrong files from somewhere. This is the path that you have to download correct fonts from: https://github.com/google/material-design-icons/tree/master/iconfont or use the one in my GH repo that worked for you already.

    Also you need to call only one css in your html (php) file, like this:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="material-fonts.css" />
