Font Awesome has recently changed icons notation from for example icon-shield to fa-shield.
But where has icon previously known as icon-remove-sign gone in the same time? I can't find it anywhere within Font Awesome 4.0.3 icon list. Actually I don't see anything with remove in name or anything that would "accompany" (as opposite) icon (now called) fa-check.
In general, nearly every FA's "yes"-like icons have their counterparts ("no"-like icons). In general, you have variety of icon-sets for both "success" and "fail"-like situations. But this one is clearly missing.
It appears the icon is now called fa-times: http://fontawesome.io/icon/times/.
At least as I understood the changes, the names should be more consistent with the actual icon shape, and "times" is the correct name for ×.
The exact missing icon-remove-sign in Font Awesome 4.0 is fa-times-circle
<i class="fa fa-times-circle"></i>
and variation
<i class="fa fa-times-circle-o"></i>

The fa-sticky-note-o icon is not being displayed in
<em class="fa fa-sticky-note-o" aria-hidden="true"></em> on my Chromebook, which is current. Other icons, such as <em class="fa fa-desktop" aria-hidden="true"></em> are displayed. It does appear when expressed as Unfortunately, this is a major documentary feature on https://marlinfw.org/docs/configuration/configuration.html I doubt that they are going to want to code their page differently just for my benefit. :)
I looked at the source of the Marlin document when it became evident that something was missing. I checked the FontAwesome cheatsheet https://fontawesome.com/v4/cheatsheet/ and see that it is displayed when expressed as I was hoping to find how to update or define the icon, but didn't find anything that told me how to do that. I see that "/assets/stylesheets/fontawesome.min.css" is part of the of the head.load javascript at top of the page. Could that be corrupted somehow? How would I force a reload?
Your fontawsome.min.css file appears to be missing a class definition for .fa-note-stick-o.
You'll want to add the following class definition(s) to it:
.fa-note-sticky-o:before,.fa-sticky-note-o:before{
content:"\f24a"
}
So I'm working on a webpage and for it I need to use some icons. There is a font file which contains said icons and I can use and display like 95% of them. Except for the ones I actually need to use. Because i can use most of the other icons, the font file is working fine. Can anyone here help me figure out what is going or with the other icons? I'm also not really sure how can show you what I mean, I can share my HTML code at least, so you get an idea of how I display those icons.
I use the FontDrop website to see what the names of the icons are and those names work for all icons, except the ones i have to use.
HTML:
<h1 class="icontextwhite"> <br><br><br><br>
<i class="icon-email iconstylewhite"></i>
<br>
2012
</h1>
The code above displays the 'email' icon, thats the name of the icon according to the read out from the website i mentioned above.
Below here is an example of the icon of a house, like a homescreen icon. Its called 'home', but when I want to display it, nothing shows.
<h1 class="icontextwhite"> <br><br><br><br>
<i class="icon-home iconstylewhite"></i>
<br>
2012
</h1>
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.

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.
