I have created an LOV in my application. I want add font awesome icons and colors to this list for per list rows. But I don't know how to do it. May anyone help me with that?
You can see what i want to do by this picture
Shared Components > Lists should work for you. Lists can have dynamic or static source like LOVs and also option to specify font awesome icons.

I've been using Font Awesome for a little bit on some of my projects and I have created a bunch of my own icons that I can link locally without a problem; however, I want to be able to link the icons I made from an online source like Font Awesome do and serve them publicly, how exactly is this achieved?
You need to have icon in SVG format that you have created,
then you can use this, it will generate all the necessary font types, CSS/Sass/Less/Stylus , HTML demo page and Name font according to your wish.

I did a bit of Googling for you to find somewhere for your to offer your files.
You will need to create a font from your SVG files, I use fontastic.me and it's very good, but you could use another service.
You will then need to create a package of your files, and put it on a CDN service so that other people (or just you) can use it publicly. You can try using something like https://www.jsdelivr.com/ or look into how to set up your own CDN.
I am making a social networking site and would like emoticons to be available to users to click, and view a whole range of standard emoticons. I have seen around the web, and have not come up with any concrete information whether this can be done, and how.
The way I imagine the emoticons to be is similar to what WhatsApp have adopted. An emoticon icon, which, on click, displays a whole range of icons. Just wondering whether it is possible and if so, how?
It can be done, you would need a java-script widget for it though and depending on the rest of your framework it could be fully integrated or it would require some additional files.
Here is one example of such a widget, not sure if it is precisely what you need but you can get the idea there:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/emoticons-js
Umm, you can have a set of icons what you can display?
Or use the unicode entry points for the emojis?

Then you need one element with some onclick handler in Javascript which opens up a floating div showing a selection of emojis.
I would build my own font-awesome icons set. In particular I would build something which is a copy of font-awesome with all its features, but using just a subset of icons.
Furthermore, I'm really interested how they build files within the fonts folders.
On github I found this repo, which contains all svg icons. On ubuntu, using Font Custom, I was able to generate giving svg files as input, the fonts file, even if I'm not really satisfied. But besides that, I do not understand how to merge those files with font-awesome.
So summarizing, how can I create my own font-awesome set, using my own svg files?
Please, do not say to use fontello, icoMoon or similars, because I would like to do on my local machine, without any third-parties services.
I actually did something similar but have to admit it was never perfect, most likely due to bad font conversion, just never had time to make it perfect. Basically i used the following link (to the most part)
http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2012/01/how-to-make-your-own-icon-webfont/
An overview of the process
Step 1 - Create the individual gylphs (you should use the special characters to avoid someone "typing" using your font.
Step 2 - Save gylphs selection as an SVG font.
Step 3 - Convert SVG font to web-font (there are plenty of free online converters)
step 4 - generate the CSS classes to use (create all of the possible classes for all individual glyphs) - outcome should be something like: "icon icon-lg icon-blue icon-hand" - (better using LESS / SCSS for this part - you'll get why later)
where one contains the general settings for all icons, the other controls size-overrides, one controls the color, and most important one that using the :after -> outputs the icon.
step 5 - now that you have a working web-font controlled by CSS, make a UI for selecting individual glyphs to be available. most likely you should use LESS, this way you are "exposing" only the classes that are selected by the user (EG. - icon-1, 2, 5, 8 etc) all other icons are still included in the font but their corresponding CSS classes are not outputted in the final CSS.
There might be more advanced ways of doing it but this overview and tutorial should help you get the basics.
I believe you can use FontLab Studio for that: http://store.fontlab.com/
However, you will probably have to write your own css, personally I think generating it with icomoon or similiar web based generator is much easier and faster, because it is made particularly for generating web fonts, in before FontLab Studio or similiar desktop applications were made to design desktop fonts and do not come with prebuilt css compiler/generator.
I would like to see a generator for desktop aswell.
I haven't dug deeply with own font-icon sets, but I assume there's some svg data in use.
Just as an idea of a different way to go- you could even use background-img on set classes :before / :after
useful resource: http://iconizr.com/ I find their data-url generation is useful (better svg conversion than fontello, icoMoon )
Font-awesome is limited to one font or ?. Is there any option to add custom font to font-awesome.
If yes then, show me how to add that.
FontAwesome is a collection of icon fonts. If you want a collection with different icons one easy way is to use IconMoon - http://icomoon.io/app/#/select and http://icomoon.io/#icon-font . Their IconMoon app is brilliant and hooks into a world of different options.
If you want actual web fonts, then it's hard to beat Google Web Fonts or Font Squirrel if you want to use your own fonts
i have to create widgets for whether reports and etc. to my website. what are all the needs to create widgets? is Css5 and Html enough to make a attracting widgets?? can you provide me the correct way to do that ...
Update Question :
i have got some more ideas to make widgets for websites and how we can add into our web pages. and now i have to do widgets for desktops like windows 7 desktop widgets. is it possible? and what're all the needs to make it??
Thanks in advance.
The widgets are generally not developed by the people who run the websites they appear on. Instead the weather widget might come from a weather site that provides data to. The widget is provided as code for web developers to paste into their site. These widgets refer to the maintained weather website (images, data, etc...). Some of them allow for a small level of customization, so you can use your own colour palette to make it blend with your site, or toggle rounded corners etc...
As a start a quick google search brought me to google's gadgets page which will get you started. I don't doubt that they are customizable through some minimal CSS. Changing borders and such.
