BottomTabItem of TabHostView Can use Icon Font

[carl-neng]

Use Icon font
For Bottom tab item I need to include multiple asset resources to each project and any type of device sometime confused or forget include it. So I want to request this feature for use assets for tab icon.

My idea
I want to use icon font:

1. Easy to manage asset resources in one file.
2. Create small binary (.ipa, apk or aab) size when we published to market.

Using FontImageSource as a valid IconImageSource would be great!

Hi @roubachof I see your version v1.4 available on nuget but I didn't know you have include tab icon use font icon or not?

For a example this:

1. For first tab it show like image above (I have use font icon for label) is show it worked. but we can't increase size of font icon size.
2. If we want to display both of image and label how we can do it.

Thank you in advance.

Use a FontImageSource for the IconImageSource and it will work just fine.
