Steps to add new icons:

  • Install FontForge
  • Load a freely licensed font and mpv's glyph directory, for example: fontforge Symbola.ttf TOOLS/mpv-osd-symbols.sfdir
  • Check the Unicode hex value of the desired character (g-a in vim)
  • Scroll until that value in the font window and click it
  • Copy the selected glyph (Ctrl+c)
  • Focus the window with TOOLS/mpv-osd-symbols.sfdir
  • Click an unused character slot
  • Paste the glyph (Ctrl+v)
  • Save (Ctrl+s)
  • Edit the numbers in the glyph file to match the size and position of adjacent icons (TODO: find a better way)
  • Run sh TOOLS/gen-osd-font.sh
  • Add the icon to osc.lua following the instructions there
