This is interesting: if the background colour is changed, and the text
colour isn't, than isn't all the text invisible now? In other words, I
thought one of the advantages of icon fonts was they inherited
everything to do with text colour (so whatever the text colour does, the
icon font should as well (unless some CSS overrides).

Am I misunderstanding?

cheers,
