However, when using the application cache, ALL files in the cache will be downloaded, regardless of whether they are actually used. So if I include all the different font awesome files, they will all be downloaded by every browser.\r\n\r\nI do not need to support older versions of IE, but I do care about mobile browsers. If I want the browsers to download just use one font file, my options are:\r\n - Use WOFF, but this [won't work on any version of the Android browser](http://caniuse.com/woff)\r\n - Use TTF, but this [won't work on IE](http://caniuse.com/ttf) without the [installable flag set](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2010/07/15/the-css-corner-better-web-typography-for-better-design.aspx).\r\n\r\nThe installable flag is not currently set in the Font Awesome TTF file.\r\n\r\nFor my own purposes I can just patch the TTF file using e.g. [ttfpatch](http://www.derwok.de/downloads/ttfpatch/) to set the font to installable, but I figure that I can't be the only person that will ever want to put Font Awesome in their application cache, so maybe the project would consider setting the flag for people wanting to do this.\r\n\r\nThanks, Tom"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/comments/154836933","html_url":"https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/1873#issuecomment-154836933","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/1873","id":154836933,"user":{"login":"softforge","id":1328310,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1328310?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/softforge","html_url":"https://github.com/softforge","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/softforge/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/softforge/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/softforge/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/softforge/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/softforge/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/softforge/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/softforge/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/softforge/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/softforge/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-08T16:18:54Z","updated_at":"2015-11-08T16:18:54Z","body":"+1 - this should definitely be set"}}
