The specific use cases that all-the-icons aims to cover is not "showing
arbitrary images".  It's mainly prettifying the modeline, using small
icons instead of text in the modeline to save space, and adding small
icons on each line in a list buffer like dired.  In these 3 cases,
I don't think using fonts is obviously more wrong than using images.
