Skill issue.

Pictures are pictures, text is text. <img> tag exists for a reason.

Its a convenience packaging issue. An icon font is simply more convenient to handle. <img> tags for a hundred images requires more work.

Icon fonts are used all over the place - look at the terminal nowadays. Most TUI's require an icon font to be installed.

So it's a skill issue.
