@@ -263,7 +263,33 @@ Commit the regenerated `material_symbols_outlined.ttf` alongside your
 at runtime because the glyph is not in the bundled font.
 
 Reusing a codepoint already present in `MaterialSymbols.kt` does NOT require
-regenerating. See `tools/material-symbols-subset/README.md` for details and
+regenerating.
+
+### Amethyst's own icons are also a font
+
+The icons in `commons/.../commons/icons/*.kt` (Like, Reply, Reposted, Zap, …) are
+**also** compiled into a font, `composeResources/font/amethyst_icons.ttf`, and drawn
+as glyphs via `AmethystIconGlyph`. Drawing an `ImageVector` rasterises its paths into
+a per-instance cached layer, so a feed re-rasterised the same glyph once per card;
+a glyph is a blit from the shared text atlas. Measured: frame P90 **-10.7%**,
+overrun P90 **-17.4%** on the feed scroll benchmark.
+
+**MANDATORY:** whenever you add or change an icon under `commons/.../commons/icons/`,
+regenerate the font *and* its codepoint table together:
+
+```bash
+python3 tools/icon-font/build_icon_font.py \
+  commons/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/commons/icons \
+  commons/src/commonMain/composeResources/font/amethyst_icons.ttf \
+  commons/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/commons/icons/symbols/AmethystIcons.kt
+```
+
+Both outputs must be committed together: codepoints are assigned in filename order,
+so adding an icon renumbers the ones after it, and a stale `AmethystIcons.kt` then
+points at the wrong glyph. Needs `fonttools` (`pip install fonttools`). The script
+prints any icon it could not convert — an icon that is skipped must keep using its
+`ImageVector`.
+ See `tools/material-symbols-subset/README.md` for details and
 prerequisites (`pip install fonttools brotli`).

+# Amethyst icon font
+
+Builds `amethyst_icons.ttf` from the Kotlin `ImageVector` icons in
+`commons/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/commons/icons/`.
+
+## Why
+
+`Icon(imageVector = …)` calls `rememberVectorPainter`, and a `VectorPainter`
+rasterises its paths into a cached graphics layer **per instance**. A feed therefore
+re-rasterised the same handful of glyphs once for every card scrolled in. A font glyph
+is a blit from the shared text atlas instead, shared across every call site in the app
+for free — no `CompositionLocal` plumbing, no per-screen scoping.
+
+Measured on the uniform-corpus macrobenchmark (SM-T220, three arms, 0.2% noise floor):
+
+| approach | frame P90 | overrun P90 | artwork |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| one shared `VectorPainter` per icon | −8.2% | −14.2% | unchanged |
+| MaterialSymbols glyph substitutes | −10.4% | −16.0% | **changes** |
+| **this font** | **−10.7%** | **−17.4%** | unchanged |
+| ceiling: draw no icons at all | −12.7% | −22.9% | n/a |
+
+## Usage
+
+    pip install fonttools
+    python3 tools/icon-font/build_icon_font.py <icons-dir> <out.ttf> <out.kt>
+
+See the "Amethyst's own icons are also a font" section of `.claude/CLAUDE.md` for the
+mandatory regeneration step and why both outputs must be committed together.
+
+## How it works
+
+The `ImageVector` builder DSL maps 1:1 onto SVG path commands (`moveTo` → `M`,
+`curveToRelative` → `c`, …; none of the icons use `arcTo`), so the script extracts the
+path data, emits an SVG `d` string, and draws it into a TrueType glyph via fontTools —
+converting cubics to quadratics and flipping the y axis, since SVG grows downward and
+font outlines grow upward from the baseline.
+
+Font metrics deliberately mirror the bundled `material_symbols_outlined.ttf`
+(unitsPerEm 960, ascent 1056, descent −96, advance 960) so the glyphs align with
+existing MaterialSymbols call sites and `Icon()` sizing. Generated outlines land within
+a few units of Google's own: our `Like` spans (78,94)–(882,851), their heart
+(80,120)–(880,854).
+
+An icon whose path data the parser cannot reach is reported and skipped rather than
+silently emitted empty; it must keep using its `ImageVector`.
