Error: Invalid character entity

Hi,

gulp-iconfont doesn't seem to work on my system: OS X 10.10.4 with Node v0.12.5.

During the installation I get lots of warnings (as per nfroidure/ttf2woff2#4). Then when I try to run the Gulp task I get this error:

events.js:85
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^

Also the first svg file picked to generate the iconfont gets renamed prepending uEA01- to its name. I have no idea what is causing this weird behaviour.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

It looks like one of your SVG files is simply corrupted. If you think it is not normal, please submit the SVG with an issue to the sax parser.

About the file renaming, it is due to the https://github.com/nfroidure/gulp-svgicons2svgfont#optionsappendunicode options. But it is an opt-in behavior, if you didn't set this option, than it is a bug and you can open an issue about it.

Re-saving the svg file with the parameters indicated on the readme fixed the problem, thanks!
