How can I use FontAwesome Font Icons without uploading it to project? - css

I have a blog. Now I want to use a font icon for Menu bar for good quality.
But I can't upload it to blogger as there's no option. So is there any way to use it without uploading it to blogger?

you can use a CDN and link it in your project like this
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.6.3/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

As answered you can use fontawesome cdn or if you want to further optimize, you can choose specific icons and load a css file.
you can use http://fontello.com/ or https://icomoon.io which are awesome tools for this.
hope this helps :)

What is the difference between Use Font-awesome all.js and all.css?

I have to use font awesome in my Web, and I found that I have 2 ways to implements Font Awesome.
I want to work with 5.0.1 version, I realized that using ALL.CSS allows me to use Font-awesome in classes with: AFTER in CSS, but beyond that I do not know what the difference is, and what each one is used for, and another question, when I should use both.
<link href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.0.1/css/all.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script defer src="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.0.1/js/all.js"></script>
I hope to use the lightest font-awesome to implement
all.css is the font version of FontAwesome.
When you need the SVG font, you have to use js.css version.
More detail can be found on their website
Choose the javaScript (.js) OR the css (.css) version, not both.
.js : Retrieves the <i> tags with class name fa and replaces them with the code from an svg image. This is a good option if you don't have a lot of Font Awesome icons on your web page.
.css : Loads the Font Awesome font family (for example v5.0.1 = 37.78 kB). This is a good option when you have a large number of icons on your web page.

Add font folder also, Please give font path proper in the font-awesome.css stylesheet.

Embedding fonts in css file

HI everyone i am new to this css i am developing a website for that site i am using kannada fonts but i wnat to embed the fonts in css how to embed that can any one please give sugessions and solutions .. thanks in advance
This is a great guide to cross-browser #font-face
I don't think you can embed them, but you should be able to use the #font-face to pull down your fonts. But it does not work in all browsers so beware.
