Except that for the majority of programs using the standard symbol
set, overlaying most of the icons in the secondary set (except for
the simple solid outlines like circles, triangles and diamonds) will
result in an unreadable mess. <br>
<br>
This is due to the limitations of overlaying an alphanumeric
character on top of a busy pattern in a mere 16x16 pixel square. <br>
