I used:
td.product-name dl.variation dd li:before {
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free";
content: "\f00c";
color: #000;
margin-right: 8px;
}
to add an icon :before each list element.
The icon appears as it should on Safari:
But not on Chrome:
Why?
Here's a link to my website: https://www.mydreamtattoo.com/checkout/?add-to-cart=3981
The check icon list is in the order review table below the product name.
I've used this method to add icons :before elements with CSS in the past in other places and it has always worked. This time it didn't.
Found the issue, you need to add font-weight: 600;
I had a similar issue and found adding font-weight: 900; worked.
I am trying to modify some website code that I have got from a template. In the css file i have a number of lines of code which look as follows - and i assume these are the logos to be referenced;

The issue i am having is that the logos do not appear on the webpage. Does the slash indicate that in the current directory there should be image f181,f182 and so on or do these values represent something else.
Thanks for your help.
I got the answer. These codes are from font awesome family. Down load the font awesome and link to your webpage. It will work for you.

I am trying to incorporate CSS before content.
I want to put info icon (i), which is "\e608"
#securityCodeLink:before {
content: "\e608";
}
The output looks like this
But if i try with 2701 or something like that
#securityCodeLink:before {
content: "\2701";
}
It works perfectly fine.
Can any one tell me why is this and how can i fix this?
The icon will only appear if you're using a font which supports it.
On StackOverflow (which uses a font-family of Arial, 'Liberation Sans', 'DejaVu Sans'):
\e608 renders as ๎
\2701 renders as เช
I researched a lot about this and finally it get Solved..
The icon will only appear if you're using Specific Font which supports it.
In CSS we need to define the font as below.
#font-face{
font-famiy:'nameOfFont';
src: url(data:application/font-woff;charset=utf-8;base64______format("woff");
}
.requiredFont input[type=radio]{
font-family: nameOfFont;
display: inline-block;
text-decoration: inherit;
}
.requiredFont input[type=radio]{
content: "\E608";
}
.requiredFont input[type=radio]:checked {
content: "\E609";
color: reqired HEX Color;
}
Most Probably It will work...when we design the font for the content in radio button we want..
I have some CSS that looks like this:
#content h2 {
background: url(../images/tContent.jpg) no-repeat 0 6px;
}
I would like to replace the image with an icon from Font Awesome.
I do not see anyway to use the icon in CSS as a background image. Is this possible to do assuming the Font Awesome stylesheets/fonts are loaded before my CSS?
You can't use text as a background image, but you can use the :before or :after pseudo classes to place a text character where you want it, without having to add all kinds of messy extra mark-up.
Be sure to set position:relative on your actual text wrapper for the positioning to work.
.mytextwithicon {
position:relative;
}
.mytextwithicon:before {
content: "\25AE"; /* this is your text. You can also use UTF-8 character codes as I do here */
font-family: FontAwesome;
left:-5px;
position:absolute;
top:0;
}
EDIT:
Font Awesome v5 uses other font names than older versions:
For FontAwesome v5, Free Version, use: font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free"
For FontAwesome v5, Pro Version, use: font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Pro"
Note that you should set the same font-weight property, too (seems to be 900).
Another way to find the font name is to right click on a sample font awesome icon on your page and get the font name (same way the utf-8 icon code can be found, but note that you can find it out on :before).
Actually even font-awesome CSS has a similar strategy for setting their icon styles. If you want to get a quick hold of the icon code, check the non-minified font-awesome.css file and there they are....each font in its purity.
Consolidating everything above, the following is the final class which works well
.faArrowIcon {
position:relative;
}
.faArrowIcon:before {
font-family: FontAwesome;
top:0;
left:-5px;
padding-right:10px;
content: "\f0a9";
}
To use font awesome using css follow below steps -
step 1 - Add Fonts of FontAwesome in CSS
/*Font Awesome Fonts*/
#font-face {
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
//in url add your folder path of FontAwsome Fonts
src: url('font-awesome/fontawesome-webfont.ttf') format('truetype');
}
Step - 2 Use below css to apply font on class element of HTML
.sorting_asc:after {
content: "\f0de"; /* this is your text. You can also use UTF-8 character codes as I do here */
font-family: FontAwesome;
padding-left: 10px !important;
vertical-align: middle;
}
And finally, use "sorting_asc" class to apply the css on desired HTML tag/element.
You can try this example class. and find icon content here: http://astronautweb.co/snippet/font-awesome/
#content h2:before {
display: inline-block;
font: normal normal normal 14px/1 FontAwesome;
font-size: inherit;
text-rendering: auto;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
transform: translate(0, 0);
content: "\f007";
}
I am bit late to the party. Just like to suggest another way.
button.calendar::before {
content: '\f073';
font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free';
left: -4px;
bottom: 4px;
position: relative;
}
position, left and bottom are used to align the icon.
Sometimes adding font-weight: 600 or above also helps.
No need to embed content into the CSS. You can put the badge content inside the fa element, then adjust the badge css. http://jsfiddle.net/vmjwayrk/2/
<i class="fa fa-envelope fa-5x" style="position:relative;color:grey;">
<span style="
background-color: navy;
border-radius: 50%;
font-size: .25em;
display:block;
position:absolute;
text-align: center;
line-height: 2em;
top: -.5em;
right: -.5em;
width: 2em;
height: 2em;
border:solid 4px #fff;
box-shadow:0px 0px 1px #000;
color: #fff;
">17</span>
</i>
#content h2:before {
content: "\f055";
font-family: FontAwesome;
left:0;
position:absolute;
top:0;
}
Example Link:
https://codepen.io/bungeedesign/pen/XqeLQg
Get Icon code from:
https://fontawesome.com/cheatsheet?from=io
Alternatively, if using Sass, one can "extend" FA icons to display them:
.mytextwithicon:before {
#extend .fas, .fa-angle-double-right;
#extend .mr-2; // using bootstrap to add a small gap
// between the icon and the text.
}
It seems that the given answers don't give a real background as the fontawesome is rendered outside the bloc you want the background in.
Here is my solution to have a "real" background effect :
html :
<div id="bloc" class="bg_ico_outer" style="">
<i class="fa fa-bookmark-o bg_ico"></i>
<div class='bloc_inner'>
<h2>test fontawesome as background</h2>
</div>
</div>
css :
.bg_ico {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: -10px;
font-size: 17em;
color: green;
transform: rotate(25deg);
}
.bg_ico_outer{position: relative; overflow: hidden;}
#bloc{
height: 200px;
width:200px;
background: blue;
margin:50px auto;
}
.bloc_inner{
position: absolute;
}
h2{color: white;}
For this you just need to add content attribute and font-family attribute to the required element via :before or :after wherever applicable.
For example: I wanted to attach an attachment icon after all the a element inside my post. So, first I need to search if such icon exists in fontawesome. Like in the case I found it here, i.e. fa fa-paperclip. Then I would right click the icon there, and go the ::before pseudo property to fetch out the content tag it is using, which in my case I found to be \f0c6. Then I would use that in my css like this:
.post a:after {
font-family: FontAwesome,
content: " \f0c6" /* I added a space before \ for better UI */
}
This seems to be the simplest solution :-)
#content h2:before {
font-family: FontAwesome;
content: "\f055";
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
}
I have a font that has outline only. It does not have any fill color. Here you can see this fone.
http://www.dafont.com/comica-bd.font
I am using this font in my webpage (fontface). When I change color of font, its outline is changed. Is there a way to change fill color as well using CSS? Or is my last option to use images?
This is what i want:
This is what I could do with CSS and fontface.
Any CSS property to fill background or something.?
No, there's no way to fill the font in css. The blank space can not be considered part of the font for css purposes.
** EDIT - I hadn't checked this in other browsers. It's a pretty gross implementation. I wouldn't recommend doing anything like this. **
This solution uses HTML5, CSS3 and, as such, has some browser support conditions.
See this codepen http://codepen.io/keithwyland/pen/tbfcE (code below if codepen doesn't work)
I've used the Google Web Font Jacques Francois Shadow (http://www.google.com/webfonts) and it's sister font Jacques Francois. Basically, the shadow font has an outline font like the one you're using. The other font is the same but not outline, it's filled in.
What I did was set a data- attribute to repeat the text of the element, then use that in the CSS. I'm also using a pseudo element to spit out the value of that data attribute. It's not perfect (mostly the spacing), but what would help is if your 2nd font could have the exact letter width as your original font and just be filled in instead of outline.
