I'm trying to use the Material Icons font from Google Outlined set that just came out, but I can't figure it out. There is no information nor documentation. Some icons are being displayed as filled and some as outlined.
eg: The account_circle icon from the Outlined set
How are you supposed to use the Outlined set? Any help is appreciated.

Use the icon by adding the following classes to the <i> tag: material-icons-new class. Icon name as shown on the material icons demo page, prefixed with the theme name followed by a hyphen.
$(". material-icons"). css("color", themeColor); This will change color of the material icons inside an element eg input field.

In short Google isn't (still) advertising the fact that you can load the different set via the Google Apis url on the Material Icons website. They are only, as per Google Material Icons instructions, talking about the default filled set which uses the following html tag to enqueue the Material Icons base stylesheet.
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
If you want to use the Outlined, the Two Tone, Round or Sharp sets, you need to add the following to the Material Icons url.
| Theme | URL parameters | CSS class |
|---|---|---|
| Filled (Default) | ?family=Material+Icons |
material-icons |
| Outlined | ?family=Material+Icons+Outlined |
material-icons-outlined |
| Two Tone | ?family=Material+Icons+Two+Tone |
material-icons-two-tone |
| Round | ?family=Material+Icons+Round |
material-icons-round |
| Sharp | ?family=Material+Icons+Sharp |
material-icons-sharp |
Like Google text-based font, Google Material Icons also accept the &display=swap url parameter.
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons+Two+Tone&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
You can learn more about &display=swap @ https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/02/font-display
You can also specify a <link rel="preconnect" tag in the <head> of your document to improve load performances.
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com">
<!--head-->
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons+Two+Tone&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<!--body-->
<span class="material-icons-two-tone">
account_circle
</span>
<span class="material-icons-two-tone">
check_circle
</span>
<span class="material-icons-two-tone">
favorite
</span>Update, with Answer:
Looking at the Readme in the source code, https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/master/packages/material-ui-icons
You Append Outline to the icon name. So for you:
import { AccountCircleOutline } from "@material-ui/icons";
or
import AccountCircleOutline from "@material-ui/icons/AccountCircleOutline";
I do believe this answers your question. A "correct answer" is always nice! Thanks!
