How can I add a thin user Icon in my website? - icons

I want to add a thin user icon to my website and I used font awesome.
It shows a box error.
<i class="fa-thin fa-user"></i>
The class thin fa-thin is not working. If I use fa-user it comes with a solid user icon. How can I make fa-thin work? Thanks for your time and help in advance.

You can use <i class="fa-thin fa-user"></i>, if you are using the latest version of font-awesome.

My website is https://waki.vn, it does not display icon in menu.

please help me to fix it. Thank you
You are referencing the icon as <i class="icon-angle-down"></i>.
Such an icon does not exist.
The proper way to use this icon is <i class="fas fa-angle-down"></i>as you can find out via https://fontawesome.com/icons/angle-down?style=solid.

Using font awesome in codepen

I'm trying to add the styles sheet for font-awesome into a Codepen but seem to be getting nowhere, can anybody help please.
Codepen (https://codepen.io/kellett/pen/YreKaW)
Below is the styles sheet I've inserted in the top of HTML page.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
It's working, you just are using the wrong font-awesome class.
Line 19 should be <span class="fa fa-search"></span>.
See this updated CodePen
Note: You can also add CDNs in the CodePen settings so you don't have to include it inline in your html.
simply add this http://static.fontawesome.com/css/fontawesome-app.css in css setting panel:
you are using wrong . Check this
<span class="fa fa-search"></span> use like this instead of <span class="fa-search"></span>.
Go to Settings on the top right-hand corner. Then paste the CDN code in the box that says "Stuff for <head>." Press Save and Close before adding your Font Awesome tags, which should be formatted like this:
<i class="fa fa-thumbs-up"></i>
Here's the CodePen. You should see a thumbs up icon on the bottom of the page:
https://codepen.io/calumchilds/pen/boLwVb
Hope this helps!
Add this link into js setting:
https://use.fontawesome.com/4d74086fc6.js.
Open settings.
On the Pen Settings modal, select the CSS tab
In the "Add External Stylesheets/Pens" section, search for font-awesome.

Issue with Awesome Font Icons

I'm stucking on a little issue with awesome fonts icons. I've a wordpress website and I use awesome icons, in particular "battery" icons.
In 1st page I can see the battery icon, but in 2nd page I can't see battery icon, just white space, anyway in 2nd page I can see all icon types, except battery icon...
I can notice that in battery icon I don't see the code ::before in tags...
maybe this could be the issue... ?!
<i class="fa fa-battery-full"></i>
where I see the icon the code is:
<i class="fa fa-plug">::before</i>
Have you tried the last version of FA? try to change the version

Maybe the FA that your used is old, Try that.

Replacing glyph icons with FontAwesome icons

For collapse/expand icons curretnly I have this in my Razor code:
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-minus"></span>
So it has the "+" and "-" icons that my JS uses to toggle between them.
Now I want to use Up and Down arrows, how can I use FontAweosme up and down arrows?
I think this would work:
<span><i class="fa fa-angle-up"></i></span>
<span><i class="fa fa-angle-down"></i></span>
To replace "Glyph Icons" with "FontAwesome"

Material Icons vs Material Design Icons

There are two ways to use Materilize Icon:
<i class="mdi-ICON-NAME"></i>
<i class="material-icons">ICON_NAME</i>
In the official site I did not find guide or icon chart for using the font in this way <i class="mdi-ICON-NAME"></i> but there is guide on how to use the icon in this way <i class="material-icons">ICON_NAME</i> here.
So, when official site doesn't have guide on how to use the icon in this way <i class="mdi-ICON-NAME"></i>. Then why is it defined all over the stylesheet (materialize.css).
Also, if I need to call the icon this way <i class="material-icons">ICON_NAME</i> then I need to link one for font file. Eg.<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">. Hence, I feel that 2 fonts will be loaded into the DOM which is not needed, right?
My quesiton is: Where can I find Icon chart if I need to use icon in this way <i class="mdi-ICON-NAME"></i>?
I got it answered by Materialize team:
https://github.com/Dogfalo/materialize/issues/1824#issuecomment-125949178
For question: Where can I find Icon chart if I need to use icon in this way <i class="mdi-ICON-NAME"></i>
I got answer: The mdi type icons are being phased out for the official google sources, that's why you won't find the old chart in the documentation. A complete list of the new icons can be found in https://www.google.com/design/icons/
For question: Why not just delete all the mdi icons and css defined as new icons are already offered by google, isn't it?
I got answer: Because that would suddenly break all the user implementations, so this way it can be phased out gradually, giving people time to update their icons.
If you really need to check the old implementation, you can go through the commit history from https://github.com/Dogfalo/materialize/blob/master/icons.html and look at a version before the google icons were added.
You can find the full list of icons here https://www.google.com/design/icons/
The naming is mdi-category-iconname.
An example:
<i class="mdi-action-search"></i>
