Icon Fonts are a brilliant way to manage scalable art for the new flat world of web and app design and quickly becoming more popular: http://fontawesome.io https://icomoon.io http://fontello.com Request: Font Designer Persona - Affinity Designer is well positioned to provide THE ultimate on designer tool. The first step is to enable exporting of slices to SVG. This could be followed by more enhancements up to and including generation of font files (or json) and supporting CSS. With the ubiquity of icon fonts, font editing is not just for font designers any more. Creating a page with a grid of slices for each character in the font would be great and remove the tedious steps of creating slices around hundreds of icons. Have a look at http://www.glyphsapp.com and cover a few high value holes. I have only just begun my own research and experimentation on this topic. I going ahead with creating most of my app artwork as an icon font but I cannot use AD until SVG slice export is available. I hope others will agree.
