Say Goodbye to Octicons

fixhub

Note: I am no longer using or maintaining fixhub.

Recently, GitHub introduced Octicons, which broke GitHub for users browsing the web with their own fonts (e.g., Allow pages to choose their own fonts set to no in Firefox). fixhub replaces several of the Octicon font glyphs with PNG images or text labels so you can use GitHub with your own fonts.

Usage

fixhub is a Greasemonkey script.

To install and use:

1. Generate the CSS used to replace the current GitHub icons:

   $ python gencss.py > fixhub-icons.css

2. With Greasemonkey enabled in Firefox, install the fixhub user script:

   $ firefox fixhub.user.js

Icons

fixhub uses icons from the following free icon sets:

• Silk icons by famfamfam
• Iconic by Some Random Dude
• Wireframe Toolbar icon set by Gentleface

Thanks to the authors of these icons.
