Icon font implementation changes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The icon font implementation has been changed to be invisible, by switching to using `Private Use Areas `_ Unicode code points. All of the icon classes (``icon-user``, ``icon-search``, etc) should still work the same, except for two which have been removed because they were duplicates: * ``icon-picture`` is removed. Use ``icon-image`` instead (same visual). * ``icon-file-text-alt`` is removed. Use ``icon-doc-full`` instead (same visual). For a list of all available icons, please see the :ref:`styleguide`.
