How to use 'dashicons' for custom post types

Dear Stu,

There is a nice article about it: https://jameskoster.co.uk/work/using-wordpress-3-8s-dashicons-theme-plugin/

Belated thanks to Adriano for linking me through to that post.
Just to say, what I was looking for was actually incredibly simple.

Rather than copying the CSS, HTML or glyph, you just need to add the textual version of the dashicon i.e ‘dashicons-menu’ or ‘dashicons-dashboard’ to the ‘Menu Icon’ field under the ‘Visibility’ box in your CPT settings.

Hope this helps!

I just released a plugin that can help out with this also: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/dashicons-cpt/

Dear Hal Gatewood

Great idea, but … we are using dashicons for CPT since 1.6 version (release date: 2014-08-22).

See screenshot from current tested version (1.6.5, release soon): https://iworks.pl/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/types-dashincons-in-custom-post-type.png
