I have downloaded a simple template from the internet and for icons, the developer used Flaticons font. Now I want to put another icon on the website but I can't get Flaticons code for CSS file. On Flaticon site only can be downloaded in PSD, SVG, BASE 64 I don't have code like .flaticon-research:before { content: "\f100"; }. How to get that? Is there any solution to convert SVG file to get that content or how? I don't want to download every single SVG file and from the SVG file get the icon. I want to use the above example method. Any help will be welcome. Thanks all
follow the instruction here https://www.flaticon.com/iconfonts
after downloading the font you will see multiple files show you how to use your icons depending on you using css or scss

I downloaded a free css theme and this theme uses css file and font files for icons and unfortunately the theme has no documentation. How can I visually export them to an html file instead of looking at the CSS file line by line?

It was obviously created through icomoon, but I want to see visually which icons are there.
Just to clarify, you wanted to have a preview of the icons, right? That's why you're asking to convert it to HTML to easily view in the browser. If so, I hope this would do:
With the use of your .SVG file (https://yadi.sk/d/tKJY9lGomWsqmg), you can upload this to https://icomoon.io/. There, you can have a preview of the available icons with their corresponding names.
IcoMoon App has a feature of converting .SVG to icons. And with that, it also offers to have a preview of the icons with their names.
I tried opening the .SVG on itself, but (I'm not an expert here) I didn't get to have a preview of the icons.
I hope that helps.
I am digging into an existing reactJS site, and many images are being rendered by using the css content property. I am looking at the css sheet in VSCode, and many classes are appearing with content listed as "". I'm not sure if I need a plugin to view the actual content, but I can't find a way to see it at this point.
I can use alter the content attribute to point to a different image, but want to know where this is being generated so I can alter it at the source. The site is setup to use Contentful, but assets there are called directly on pages, not in css.
.fa-discord:after {
content: "";
}
I'd like to be able to track down where this image is being stored or generated. Any help is appreciated!
That's a Font Awesome icon for Discord, and can be found here. Yes, you need to include Font Awesome on your website if you want to render any of their glyph icons. And you can easily work out whether a website is attempting to use Font Awesome glyph icons or not, as their selectors all start with fa- and replace the content.
Font Awesome icons are generated through an included CSS file, most commonly located in a folder like /fonts/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css.
This file uses unicode characters to generate the corresponding glyph representations, and the specific unicode character for the Discord icon is 392. Thus, content: "\f392" will render the relevant glyph icon.
If a box or square shows up instead of an actual glyph, that means that the font you're using doesn't incorporate that particular unicode glyph. Font Awesome rapidly expands its coverage of unicode glyphs, and you will need to update to at least Font Awesome 5.0.0 in order to use the Discord glyph.
I have an old website, and I would like to add a glyphicons to a page of this site.
I cannot install bootstrap (link bootstrap.js and bootstrap.css to this page) because it will change all styled elements on the page.
Is there a way to add only "glyphicons functionality"?
You can build your bootstrap to components, which you need, on
http://getbootstrap.com/customize/
For example for only glyphicon, you can check only glyphicon checkbox and download.
Direct url for this setting is
http://getbootstrap.com/customize/?id=428c81f3f639eb0564a5
Scroll down and download it.
You download only two folders with css for glyphicon (bootstrap.min.css) and fonts files (in all only 170 Kb).
I prefer to use something called 'font-awsome' it has a huge library of icons and it only takes one line of code to include it into any project. - It works the same way as glyphicon being able to format with CSS etc.
I know this is not a answer to your question, but its a valid work around, and I prefer the font-awesome icons.

Have Fun!
You can download glyphicons png on http://glyphicons.com/
I'm a fan of Font Awesome I'm using lots of icons from there. But, now I need adding my custom image to font awesome file for using as icon. I want to add them to font icons files so that I can use their property like .fa-2x .fa-lg etc By researching on internet I found that I can convert my svg image to font using icomoon or font custom But, my confusion is after downloading files of my generating images as fonts how can I add those to font awesome files. I mean, there are already some files named
FontAwesome (Open Type Font File)
fontawesome-webfont.eot
fontawesome-webfont (SVG Document)
fontawesome-webfont (True Type Font File)
fontawesome-webfont.woff
Should I've to put anything on those files after downloading my custom generated fonts files? Or, should I've to put the CSS code from custom generated fonts files to fontawesome.css? if this, what CSS code should I put on there? I ain't experienced so much with this process. So, I'm confused with this. That's why, I can't tell everything arranged way. Sorry for this. Thanks
Best bet might be using a service like Fontello where you can "create" your own custom icon font and upload the custom icons there in addition to selecting the icons you need from Font Awesome.
I would like to use SVG and not to have to create a PNG fallback every time. Is the an easy solution to this problem? I have looked at these projects but can't tell whether they support it:
http://sie.sourceforge.jp/
http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/
try GruntIcon - http://github.com/filamentgroup/grunticon
grunticon takes a folder of SVG files (typically, icons that you've
drawn in an application like Adobe Illustrator), and outputs them to
CSS in 3 formats: svg data urls, png data urls, and a third fallback
CSS file with references to regular png images, which are also
automatically generated and placed in a folder.
grunticon also generates a small bit of JavaScript and CSS to drop
into your site, which asynchronously loads the appropriate icon CSS
depending on a browser's capabilities, and a preview HTML file with
that loader script in place.
There's quite a number of SVG polyfills:

Please try them and update your initial question with the results for each.
