One of the major advantages of WikiFont is you can

to using SVG based fonts if we could build grayscale SVGs and change
their colours using ResourceLoader.
FWIW, this is what OLPC did for Sugar, a decade ago, using
stroke_color and fill_color entities in the SVG:

This is a slightly more-flexible approach if you want to move beyond
single-color icons (for which grunticon seems to be adequate).
