 * SOLVED!
 * Hello again, I could fix this issue.
 * the source of the problem was my .htaccess file within wp-content folder, where
   the icons are stored.
    Solution: 1. deactivate .htaccess or what i did: 2. add
   icons file format (ttf,woff, svg in my case) to the exception list inside .htaccess.
 * No grey boxes anymore, icons are displayed, problem solved

    I checked before with them, found a similar Topic, and the
   answer from them was to check here in this Forum 🙁
