I also propose that we make any required code changes in v2.0 so that
non-certified apps can't get unrestricted use of the font. All the
options proposed (#2,3, or 4,) have drawbacks, the common one being
that they may be overly restrictive.
The Gaia email app has gone privileged instead of certified just
recently. I expect that most partners will want to deliver the email app
with the same look and feel as the other apps that may be certified. If
that means the use of the icon font, we might have some trouble.
In general, I prefer solutions that do not require certified status, as
I hope more apps for gaia can move to privileged and even be delivered
through the Marketplace and for Android devices that can use Marketplace
apps.
I can appreciate there are other factors involved, just mentioning a
general desire to move more to apps out of the certified embrace. For
email, I will likely look for any alternatives that allow us to stay
privileged instead of reverting to certified.
OK, that's useful info, thanks! And it significantly changes the
picture, as it means that implementing a platform-level solution
targeting certified apps may be less useful than expected.
