sIFR3 r437 font generator / is r437 better? - html

So since I've got major problems with the sIFR3-mousescroll issue in sIFR3 r436, I wanted to find out if that problem has been solved in the newest update. But the problem is that the new version tells me the *.swf I'm using is only compatible with r436. I've used sifrgenerator.com to create my font. Is there a newer converter, or another way to convert my .ttfs?
Oh and it would be nice if someone could tell me if the new sIFR update solves the scrolling-problem!
Thanks!

Getting an earlier version of 4.x

I need a fresh download of FA version 4.0.3 as the CMS I use contained a damaged copy. I tried using the latest (4.7.0 at this time), but CSS changes in the .fa selector cause placement issues. I'd like to roll back to 4.0.3 to maintain compatibility until we can do a whole-site regression test for this type of bug once we upgrade.
Instead of complaining in the comments, I'll just drop this in here as a weak answer.
Either you download and stash it somewhere because you need to make changes (and then reference the CSS and other assets in the appropriate way as desribed on the Get Started page) or you use a reference to a CDN in a link to a stylesheet, in which case you can specify the version in the URL.
It sounds like you are doing the former, but you should be sure. Maybe you can just use the CDN link? At any rate, you can fetch 4.0.3 from the GitHub repo
I was able to get a hold of v4.0.3 via the GitHub Releases feature.
Having done that, I discovered that somebody had modified the CSS file in our CMS to add margin-right: 5px -- and it was one of the CMS's developers! Naughty, naughty!
SO, the 'incompatibility' I saw was not between the official, unmodified 4.0.3 and 4.7.0 versions of FA. Sorry about the false alarm! And thanks for your help. :)

What plugins are installed in ckeditor for primefaces?

Im using primefaces/ckeditor and experiencing some issues with performance on large amounts of text under IE11 (this doesnt happen under Firefox)
I am wanting to test the impact of removing some plugins/extensions - but cant find a list of whats installed by default.
I suspect the list is defined under -
https://github.com/primefaces-extensions/resources-ckeditor/tree/master/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/primefaces-extensions/ckeditor/plugins
Can anyone confirm this?
I don’t understand why this was elected to close – but the answer can be found under build config -
https://github.com/primefaces-extensions/resources-ckeditor/blob/master/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/primefaces-extensions/ckeditor/build-config.js
You can see the selected plugins if you follow the link listed under build-config -

Font Awesome 4.0.0 Missing Icons

Is it just me or there are actually icons in FontAwesome 3.x.x that are missing from FontAwesome 4.0.0? If so, this definitely makes FontAwesome much less awesome for me...
For example, I can't seem to find the equivalent to icon-remove (there is no fa-remove, or fa-delete as far as I can tell).
Having to rename all icon references in my application is annoying enough. Not being able to reproduce what was possible in 3.0 is really, really bad.
Not being able to access v3.x cheatsheet and other documentation any more: unacceptable!
icon-remove is renamed to fa-times in v4.0.0.
Quick comparison:
old one
new one
Note that some icons that seem to be missing can be easily constructed using stacking options - I have created an example for icon-remove-sign replaced by fa-times stacked on fa-circle.
Note: As #VaclavElias pointed out, icon-remove-sign is now fa-times-circle. The above is just an example of stacking.
The 4.0.0 release has the same icons as 3.2.1, but the naming conventions and many of the individual icon names have been changed.
You can view a list of changes that Geremia Taglialatela compiled over on the Github wiki for Font Awesome:
Upgrading from 3.2.1 to 4
Also, you can still access the documentation for 3.2.1 here
I wrote a little LESS file that allows the integration of the old names into the new FontAwesome version.
For this is took the list Michał Rybak posted: Upgrading from 3.2.1 to 4.0
If anyone is interested in downloading, you can find it on Github: Download v3 to v4 FontAwesome Integration
--EDITED--
Michal Rybak is actually spot on. You should submit that as an answer. The icon looks exactly the same. Can't believe I missed that.
Though I'd like to point out, in the FA site it says, if you know what it looks like you know the class name in 4.0, It think it looks like a cross, or X. I would have never guessed "times"
--ORIGINAL--
I came here looking for fa-remove as well! That's disappointing. Now it looks like I have to revert back to a previous version after having migrated 2/3rd of my app to the new version.
To answer your point about documentation: The old version can be accessed here:
http://fontawesome.io/3.2.1/
I found the link while browsing through their site and stumbled upon their notice about no IE7 compatibility.
This definitely needs to be linked (atleast) in the footer
I have noticed that the Wikipedia icon is still missing on 4.0 and even 4.3
but this workaround worked for me:
.fa-wikipedia:before { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-weight: 400;
content: "VV"; letter-spacing:-0.45em; margin-right:0.5em; }

Why isn't font-squirrel #font-face generator working in IE8?

BACKGROUND:
I've directly downloaded a package from font-squirrel. I've done zero manipulation to this #font-face package. Additionally, the package has worked on every modern browser.
CODE:
I've uploaded the code to my server: http://designobvio.us/font/accent-demo.html
QUESTION:
Does anyone know why IE8 or lower isnt rendering this #font-face?
RESEARCH:
I know EOT is in the package. I've read so many articles. Most of them were understanding how #font-face works. I feel as if I understand more about #font-face then I need too; nevertheless, none of the reads are solving the problem. The closest answer is that's possible is that, IEtester isnt rendering correctly. source
NOTES:
I really don't think it is IE-tester that is messing this up (for I've tested various other sites that I know have #font-face example). Nevertheless, if anyone can vm test or has xp to test this that would be great.
It seems that Font-squirrel is going through some maintenance right now. I would have to assume that this is the reason why their generator isnt properly converting files. I solved this problem by useing another converter for fonts. found here! I'm not sure as to why but the fonts also became 20kbs smaller using this generator vs font-squirrel. If anyone has any ideas why this generator reduces file sizes that would be great i'll upvote ya. I hope this stops some headaches.

Drag and Drop from Flash/Flex to HTML and Vice-Versa

Is there a library simplifying the process of dragging and dropping between the Flash/Flex environment and the surrounding browser?
I've done some research on the process, and so far the closest thing that I have found is from HTML to Flash in a Floorplanning application. I have yet to find a demo going in the other direction however.
Is there a simpler way to do this now?
I didn't even think it was possible at first until I looked at that link, and I agree with their description that it will be very difficult to get working on all browsers / OS's.
