@chanphiromsok I'm not sure about this one for two reasons.

Firstly, I understand that Google has deprecated this in favour of Material Symbols. There haven't been any updates since 2020.

Secondly, if we did want to implement this, I think we should probably take a similar approach to Fontawesome 6 and have a single icon. Hmm or maybe not. I'm going to kick off a separate discussion.

Is there any way to implement Material Symbols icons in a React Native project, considering they come in three variants: rounded, sharp, and filled?

I found that I can make this library work with React Native Vector Icons (RNVI). However, I need to customize it for my local project. Since the Material Symbols from Google are not directly available as a font, I have to manually copy the SVG icons based on the desired font weight and variant (rounded, sharp, or filled) and then convert them to a .ttf file for my use case.

Is there a better or more efficient way to achieve this?

@chanphiromsok There is https://github.com/marella/material-symbols/tree/main/material-symbols#readme but it only has woff2 fonts I'm not sure if they'll work on RN.

You can also explore some of the other fonts like octions which generate a font from svgs.

If you look at the yo-generator there are also some directive to run system command so you can just download/copy stuff around
