Google material design icons

[michaelpwilson]

We should use google material design icons instead:

Is there any progress on this issue? I'm willing to contribute (also on other things) if you could give me the latest status.

Specifically for the task of using material icons rather than fontawesome, we basically need to change the iconClass values in src/textAngularSetup.js to the relevant material icon:

https://github.com/michaelpwilson/angular-material-textangular/blob/6e149601dde5eda52afdf46d7051ef650a898abf/src/textAngularSetup.js

Then instead of adding it as a class here, it needs to be as text eg. <i class="material-icons">&#xE896;</i>

PS: I haven't had anytime to work on this for a while now and from here on out I am putting my efforts into a pure angular material component called mdRichEditor.

My reasoning for doing this is because textAngular is well too heavy for what Angular Material would actually need.

Just wanted to put it out there as I think mdRichEditor is a much more logical approach to a wyswyg with Angular Material 👍
