      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      It seems that the icons in Confluence are currently rendered using fontset. This can be an issue for organization especially banks that have strict security constraint (fontset cannot be downloaded) as a result this will not render on customer instance.

      I would recommend that we change the current method of icons being rendered using fontset being changed to HTML entities instead.

      There is also a security issue which have been reported by Microsoft recently the link can be found below :
      https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/3079904

      You can see an example of a customer instance not rendering the fontset icons as per the screenshot attached below :
