Most existing icons are bitmaps, only some have been created as SVG or 
some other vector graphics format. Both types generally look different 
and some systems can only display bitmapped icons, including Squeak.

Personally I prefer systems or applications with very few and very 
simple symbolic icons, so that indeed a TrueType "Symbol" font could be 
the primary source for icons. IIRC Squeak used already for some of the 
window icons character glyphs, just not scaled.
