FontAwesome 4.7 and 5 not working correctly


#1

I am using FontAwesome for Desktop. I initially installed version 5, with the desktop download and using glyphs. However despite having the fonts in my font library (Mac) and having downloaded FontAwesome for desktop, and selection the font correctly for the glyph, I just get a box with a question mark in it when it is rendered. I tried to change and downgrade to 4.7, removing the previous fonts, installing new fonts, attaching new css in the html rendering/generating box, use the FontAwesome Widget Library for drag/dropping icons. It worked perfectly on my computer and for whoever has FontAwesome installed but everyone else that I shared the links to, would just see big empty squares instead of icons. There has to be a way to get FontAwesome to work with Axure and to be able to send/share with other people who don’t have it installed on their computers.

Help pls.

Hi anahitas,

My first guess is that there is most likely a mismatch between the version of the Font Awesome CSS link and the version of the Font Awesome icons used in your prototype. If you were using icons from Font Awesome v4.7, for example, you would need to use the CSS link for v4.7 of Font Awesome. The CSS link for v4.7 is:

https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css

And the CSS link for v5.2 is:

https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.2.0/css/all.css

If that doesn’t help, would you be able to post your RP file here for me to take a closer look? If you’d rather keep the file private, please feel free to send that over to support@axure.com. Thank you!
