I'm using the current version of bootstrap and the current version of font aweson.
Unfortunately, only some icons are displayed, some others not:
working are e.g. fa-envelope, fa-facebook, ...
NOT working is e.g. fa-address-book
Here is the snippet of the html code:
<ul>
<li>
<i class="fa fa-address-card-o" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</li>
</ul>
Why is especially fa-address-book not shown?
How can I fix the problem?
Thank you very much!
font-awesome has a css file that contains fa classes. So only updated font not worked with new icons and you must update css files of font-awesome.
You must be updating your css font to contains new icons like fa-address-book:
https://andreas-peter.de/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css
font-awesome current css file that contains fa-address-book: http://fontawesome.io/assets/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css
you supposed to use like this
<i class="fa fa-address-book" aria-hidden="true"></i>
more on http://fontawesome.io/icons/
Here are some steps to follow:
Update the font-awesome.css file; the older version's CSS may not contain new fonts.
Also update files inside your font folder. Download font awesome

I am using font-awesome with Angular 5 for my UI. Since I am using sass, I added the following line in .angular-cli.json after installing font-awesome
"styles": [
"../node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss",
"../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss",
"styles.scss"
],
Some of the icons works such as
<i class="fa fa-money blue-text"></i>
<i class="fa fa-code blue-text"></i>
However a lot more does not. For example, I wanted to use this bar chart icon with fas fa-chart-bar, but it does not show anything. Things like fas fa-camera-retro only shows as a weird square instead of the actual icon.
Why some of the icons don't work? Is there way to check if these css classes exist in the font-awesome package I installed?
EDIT
Just searched bar chart in node_modules\font-awesome\css\font-awesome.css and only fa-bar-chart exists, not fa-chart-bar. I have the latest font-awesome when I had it installed (4.7.0). Why does their website says fa-chart-bar. Just got it to work with fa fa-bar-chart. Why it is fa and not fas is beyond me

That was changed with the release of FA5, because now there are multiple styles for the icons:
fas: FontAwesome solid
far: FontAwesome regular
fab: FontAwesome brands
fal: FontAwesome light
However, FontAwesome5 free has solid only for most icons. For the full experience, you'd have to pay for FontAwesome Pro.
Select any icon in the gallery, to see wich styles are available for it in which release. NB: FA4-icons here.
Worked for me after upgrading to the latest version of Font Awesome:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-fnmOCqbTlWIlj8LyTjo7mOUStjsKC4pOpQbqyi7RrhN7udi9RwhKkMHpvLbHG9Sr" crossorigin="anonymous">
You may not use the V5-release of FontAwesome. Just use the latest version of FontAwesome 4, it should work. Use this link
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
I had the same issue. The search page for icons I found with Google was outdated. Make sure you are searching on the last version of the site.
Like you, I found this icon :
<i class="fa fa-line-chart"></I>
It was not working. If you search on the website, you will see it is :
<i class="fas fa-chart-line"></i>
I had to do this one time. I think some mobile devices didn't load one of the fonts:
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free", "FontAwesome";
the syntax that worked for me is fas fa-chart-bar https://fontawesome.com/icons/chart-bar?style=solid
this is with the following versions:
bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css
font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css
I had tried to use handshake icons but it doesn't work, below included us the code which I have tried:
<i class="fa fa-handshake-o"></i>
Please help me
Try Your code in w3 school tryit editor
It is link for that https://www.w3schools.com/icons/fontawesome_icons_intro.asp
I think that You are not include the css for font-awesome so include that 'font-awesome.min.css'
This is the sample screen from try it editor
You need add the CSS files and the font files to make it work. Here is the documentation: http://fontawesome.io/get-started/
I had the same problem to add handshake icon
<span class="fa-stack">
<i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-handshake-o fa-stack-1x fa-inverse"></i>
</span>
First time, it was not shown ever, but after updating the font-awesome fonts, and css to version 4.7, it works fine. Try to update your local versions of font-awesome fonts and css with latest version.
I've been scouring the web, and I can't find an answer to this. Is there away to add two Font Awesome icons in one i tag?
I can do it if I put two i tags side by side, like this:
Good for: <i class="fa fa-male fa-2x"></i><i class=" fa fa-female fa-2x"></i>
So is there anyway to do this?
Glyph-based fonts like this generally function by changing the content of the element to a specific value, which the font picks up and renders as the appropriate glyph.
So it's unlikely that you'll be able to use a single tag to display both of them unless the library provides specific syntax for handling that behavior on it's own (similar to how Font Awesome uses stacking).
This is not possible in a single <i> tag, reason is the way how the glyph identifying classes are applied. For longer or dynamic sequences you can however directly use the icons codes in markup notation:
html: <span class="font-awesome"></span>
css: .font-awesome { font-family: FontAwesome; }
This obviously requires that you load the font as FontAwesome.
I created a fiddler as simple demonstration: https://jsfiddle.net/6ofmn36g/
I do agree though that this is an approach that is somewhat hard to read, though...
With Font Awesome 5, it's possible!
Masking
Combine two icons create one single-color shape, thanks to the power of SVG in Font Awesome 5! Use it with our new Power Transforms for some really awesome effects.
Go through the Masking section in this link.
The below snippet is a small working example taken from their site
<!-- Important : Use the SVG & JS method and reference the Js file, not the CSS file -->
<script src="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.0.13/js/all.js"></script>
<div class="fa-4x">
<i class="fas fa-pencil-alt" data-fa-transform="shrink-10 up-.5" data-fa-mask="fas fa-comment" style="background:MistyRose"></i>
<i class="fab fa-facebook-f" data-fa-transform="shrink-3.5 down-1.6 right-1.25" data-fa-mask="fas fa-circle" style="background:MistyRose"></i>
<i class="fas fa-headphones" data-fa-transform="shrink-6" data-fa-mask="fas fa-square" style="background:MistyRose"></i>
</div>
Not possible with current library of FontAwesome. But there are work arounds as arkascha has suggested below.
Additional Info:
Not exactly what you are asking for But I think this will help you, Also future crowd who falls into this thread with the title.
I had answered similar stuff... Here

You can also build a custom icon by using set of icons available in the font-awesome icon set by stacking and aligning them accordingly. Stacked Icons
Example:
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<span class="fa-stack fa-lg">
<i class="fa fa-male fa-stack-1x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-female fa-stack"></i>
</span>

How to use 3rd party CSS libraries such as Font Awesome with JSF? Browser can't find font files referenced in the CSS file
(5 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I would like to use font awesome within my jsf app, but unfortunately it seems, that some icons are not displayed.
Instead of the icon I just could see a square symbol.
My jsf page look like this:
<div class="centerbox" style="bottom: 5mm; top: 5mm;">
<i class="fa fa-chain fa-5x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-wheelchair fa-5x"></i>
<h:outputLabel value="#{msg.systemNotAvailable}" />
<h:outputText value="Allocation"/>
</div>
I included the css file as follows:
<h:outputStylesheet name="font-awesome.css" library="css" media="screen"/>
The strangs thing is, that the fa-chain icon is displayed correct, but the wheelchair icon not.
When I look into the html and change the code of the icon, it seems that there are a couple of icons not working.
I tried this with the lated version 4.4.0
Does anybody else face this problem or can give me a hint how to fix?
You can always use the live css from MaxCDN, example:
http://jsfiddle.net/web_nfo/zfdgna5w/
https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css
( Source: https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/get-started/#bootstrapcdn )
Maybe the font files (fontawesome-webfont.eot, fontawesome-webfont.woff2, etc) are not loaded properly. In the css there are some relative paths, if you do not have the fonts on your (local) server it does not work.
first of all thanks for your reply.
I think the problem was, that the font files were installed in resource folder in webapp.
Since I put it into the WebContent- root all icons could be displayed.
Thank you very much for your support :-)
I'am using Font Awesone like this:
<link href=".../css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
and
<span class="fa-stack fa-lg myownclass">
It works in IE, Chrome and Firefox - und sometimes in Opera. Now my customer told me, that he also not see the Icon on Firefox/Windows.
Do you have an idea what's the problem? Opera sometimes shows me the Icons, sometimes only rectangles or numbers.
Can you help me? Could it be a problem of caching?
All Font-Awesome icons need to be given the fa class in order to properly assign the Font-Awesome font:
<span class="fa fa-stack fa-lg myownclass">
^^
Unless this is being defined in your .myownclass class, the Font-Awesome font will not be active.
You have to add following on your html, head'
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.10.2/css/all.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.10.2/css/v4-shims.css">
First of all: checkout #James Donnely's answer: you definitely should add the fa class.
When you only see rectangles etc. it means that the browser didn't load the font file (considering sometimes you do actually see the fa-icons), and it's showing unknown character files (unicode characters like \f16c) as squares or something else, designating it doesn't know what the heck to do with those characters.
So whenever this happens open up a developer tools screen and check if you see any errors. Furthermore, be sure the font file is loaded from a stable server. Also, if you load the font-file from a relative path, it could be the case that on certain pages (eg. /blog/an-article) it can't find the file, while on others (/blog) the relative path is indeed correct.
thanks for your answers.
I changed the code to:
<span class="fa fa-stack fa-lg myclass">
<i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x">
<i class="fa fa-facebook fa-stack-1x fa-inverse">
</span>
But there ar no changes, I cant understand. Perhaps it is realy only a problem of loading local the data. I give up for now.
