Looks like it got yanked: https://rubygems.org/gems/material_design_icons

Curious to see why.

So we don't have a first party solution for this. Is it normal for gems to disappear? Use to a few package managers, but most don't allow deleting only deprecation.

I don't know anything about ruby though, so open to suggestions for what the docs should say going forward??? @kamaradclimber @Chew.

Yeah, it's quite odd. Wish we could get an explanation. But, I ended up using Iconify, which worked for me once I gave it a margin-bottom of 3px to center it a bit. No real need to use a gem anymore in my opinion.
