Some Icomoon icons won't display - css

I am using Icomoon in an application - I am having a problem with a small number of icons which will not display. I have downloaded all the icons via the Icomoon App and this is the latest version - all 450 are selected.
I have tried on just a blank page with no other CSS and they still don't work in case it was some CSS in my application causing it.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/icons/icomoon/style.css" media="screen" />
<i class="icon-user"></i> User
<i class="icon-bars"></i> Bars
<i class="icon-search"><i> Search
In the above, bars displays fine but user and search do not.
Here is my style.css file (truncated):
#font-face
{
font-family: 'IcoMoon';
src:url('fonts/icomoon.eot');
src:url('fonts/icomoon.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/icomoon.svg#IcoMoon') format('svg'),
url('fonts/icomoon.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/icomoon.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
[class^="icon-"],
[class*=" icon-"]
{
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
line-height: 1;
}
[class^="icon-"]:before,
[class*=" icon-"]:before
{
font-family: 'IcoMoon';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;

}
.icon-users:before {
content: "\92";
}
.icon-bars:before {
content: "\b8";
}
.icon-search:before {
content: "\a0";
}
If I open up icomoon.svg (the only one I can "edit") then 92 and a0 are both there:

Additionally, in the demo html file created from the icomoon app all the icons from 7f (download) to a0 (search) show as blank - both the icons I am trying to use fall into this range.
Any idea why some will show but others will not?

The problem I encountered in IE11 & edge was that the uppercase variant was shown instead of the lowercase icon. This is because IE11/edge ignores the case when dealing with css-applied characters and just searches for the first 'match' in the font file.
As you can see in this picture, the lowercase 'g' maps to a trashbin-icon whilst the uppercase 'G' maps to a play-icon. IE11 & edge erroneously used the first uppercase variant.
You can test this possible cause by inspecting your font file using font forge and by explicitly declaring a "text-transform: lowercase/uppercase" in the css on the icon itself and see if that fixes it.
To ultimately fix this, I removed all uppercase letters from the icon font and re-mapped everything to other unicode characters and everything worked as expected. I found my solution in this article: Icon font behaving strangely in IE11

Did you try the solutions proposed in previous stackoverflow answers?
IcoMoon icons not working in Internet Explorer 8
Why does one of these font-face render in IE8, but the others don't?
Also, see http://adactio.com/journal/6555/

I found the solution. My problema was that just a few icons were not displaying at all, but after opening the html file that comes on the zip I saw those same icons were displaying correctly. So I saw the html and css and saw that to call the icon through a class the file was using to classes. The first one appears below the #font-face call that basically sets the style and family of the font, everything needed for the font to display correctly so call this class. The next example is using my classes and icomoon font files.
#font-face {
font-family:"icomoon";
src: url('fonts/icomoon.eot');
#font-face {
/*All the urls*/
}
/*THIS IS THE ONE YOU NEED TO CALL*/
.icomoon {
font-family: "icomoon";
speak: none;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-variant: normal;
text-transform: none;
line-height: 1;
/*Better font rendering ======*/
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}

When you create a new icon with icomoon you get a preview before download. If an icon has a label of 'multicolor' will not display. I created some icons in illustrator and imported them to the app. As I had silhouettes in white and backgrounds in white, the icons were kind of broken and couldn't be used.
Had to use pathfinder to fix them and make it just one color, also having line strokes kills your icons.

Smart Slider 3 - Add custom icon package? (Joomla3)

I'am trying to add a custom icon set to a joomla3 cms webpage, which uses the Nextend Smart Slider 3 Pro (V: 3.3.27-pro-r6010). On default the SmartSlider-backend only shows the built-in icon sets (Font Awesome 4, Icoomon, Linear, Material, Typicons).
What I've done so far:
I've already combined all custom-designed icons to an icon font (via IcoMoon App) and added al files locally like the default icons (./media/n2/n/icons/customicon/files/...).
Also added a manifest.json and readme.txt in the /customicon-folder (using code from /fontawesome as a template & customising them):
{
"id": "cicn",
"label": "CustomIcon",
"class": "cicn",
"isLigature": 0,
"prefix": "cicn-",
"data": {
"chefron_up": {
"name": "chefron_up",
"kw": "chefron_up, arrow"
}
}
}
Furthermore is added a customicon.css within ./media/nextend/customicon/... like:
#font-face {
font-family: 'customicon';
src: url(/webpage/media/n2/n/icons/customicon/files/customicon.eot?b8n2oe);
src: url(/webpage/media/n2/n/icons/customicon/files/hicustomicon.eot?b8n2oe#iefix) format('embedded-opentype'),
url(/hwebpage/media/n2/n/icons/customicon/files/customicon.ttf?b8n2oe) format('truetype'),
url(/webpage/media/n2/n/icons/customicon/files/customicon.woff?b8n2oe) format('woff'),
url(/webpage/media/n2/n/icons/customicon/files/customicon.svg?b8n2oe#hicustomicon) format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-display: block;
}
div .n2i.cicn {
display: inline-block;
font: 1em/1 hicustomicon;
font-size: inherit;
text-rendering: auto;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale
}
.cicn-chefron_up:before {
content: "\e900";
}
And there I start struggeling:
Right now in my smartslider-backend, I can see the customicon-title in my icon-list & there is the 'chefron_up'-title to choose (also visible in debugger), but the image/icon won't visually show.
Also I'am getting an warning message: Warning: filemtime(): stat failed for /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/webpage/media/n2/n/icons/customicon/files/customicon.min.css in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/webpage/libraries/nextend2/nextend/library/libraries/assets/cache.php on line 66, which states:
protected function makeFileHash($file) {
return $file . filemtime($file);
}
I can't wrap arround my head, how to add the icon(s) to the backend/frontend of the Smart Slider Pro, to display them. Digged through the code (especially ./media/n2/n/dist/...) & also saw, that there is a icon.css.manifest within the /nextend-folder for every default icon-font, which includes a hash.
I'am personally a ux-designer and not a developer, so Iam quite stuck on this. Maybe somebody can help me, to get this working or can tell me, if there is an easier way to add an custom icon set to the SmartSlider3.
Appreciate any help.
Cheers.

Can't import fontawesome-webfont typography

I am trying to import a font (fontawesome version 4.4.0's webfont) I have located in a directory called 'fonts' inside my project:
I have read several StackOverflow posts and I'm trying to import it using #font-face inside css:
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');
}
And then using it in the body:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
}
However, it's not loading:
Any idea on why is this happening? I can actually see the expected font inside the files...
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
In the network tab in my browser's developer tools I can see the follwing info:
.
In the 'Response' tab inside Network, I get "failed to load response data". Maybe the problem is there?
Edit2:
Other fonts are being loaded just fine. For example, 'Raleway' (which is very similar, but not exactly the same. Notice the difference in the 'l'):
I am trying to get this font (I think it's Adobe's 'Proxima Nova', the same used in Fontawesome's site, that's the reason of the name)...
I think the problem is that font awesome is only for icons, not text.
If you go to fontawesome.com and remove this line of code:
.fa, .fas {
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Pro";
}
You will see all the icons that have the class fa and fas will be just a rectangle.
You also need to give every element other fonts like:
.fab {
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Brands";
}
.fa, .far, .fas {
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free";
}

materialize css btn class doesnt apply custom font

I'm working on an online store project and it needs a custom font. I'm using Materialize CSS framework in Angular 7, but btn class doesn't apply correctly custom font, anything else does. any help please friends!
I have tried custom btn class apply to style with !important, it does apply but damaged ways.
#font-face {
font-family: 'AcadNusx';
src: url('./assets/fonts/AcadNusx.woff') format('woff2'),
url('./assets/fonts/AcadNusx.woff2') format('woff');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
body {
font-family: 'AcadNusx' !important;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
a {
font-family: 'AcadNusx' !important;
}
.btn {
font-family: 'AcadNusx' !important;
}
and the template code is:
registracia
when I delete btn class from the button font apply correctly but there is no styling
please help, I need just to apply this font but btn style is making me headache. thanks for your attention.
best regards
AcadNusx is an 'unusual' Georgian typeset _
To display it correctly needs more #font-face information than you currently have in your CSS code _
According to the Fonts2U resource_ you need to upload (or install via Angular cli?) all 4 versions of the font to your fonts folder_ including .ttf,.woff,.eot,.svg _ then copy / paste the accompanying CSS code into your main CSS file or import the code as separate CSS _
The 4 versions of the font_ the CSS code_ and all the instructions you need_ are all included in the downloadable resource from: https://fonts2u.com/acadnusx.font

CSS font-variation-settings not working

I'm currently experimenting with variable fonts. My first test was to experiment with the font-variation-settings directive, but it seems that is not working. Both on Codepen:
https://codepen.io/DailyMatters/pen/LrBvmz
This is my current CSS (it seems like the font is being loaded correctly from dropbox):
#font-face {
font-family: 'SourceSans';
src: url('https://www.dropbox.com/s/fmonith639cs931/SourceSansVariable-Roman.ttf') format('truetype');
}
html {
font-family: 'SourceSans', sans-serif;
}
p {
font-variation-settings: "wght" 999, "wdth" 125;
}
But also on Chrome.
As much as I change the "wght" axis, nothing happens. I did same tests with this same font using #font-face, and it worked on Chrome. Any reason this is not working with font-variation-settings?

Css Font won't import online

i have a imported css font with the following code:
#font-face
{
font-family: font;
src: url('myriad pro/myriad pro/MyriadWebPro.ttf'),
url('myriad pro/myriad pro/MyriadWebPro.ttf');
}
The problem is that online doesn't work but locally works.What is causeing the problem
Try renaming the file path, for example ---> "myriad-pro/myriad-pro/MyriadWebPro.ttf". Is your css file in the folder with the font. Check if your path is right.
P.S: Remove the bottom url (that on the third line.). When I use font-face I use only two. Example: font-family: Consolas;
src: url('Consolas.ttf');
#font-face
{
font-family: MyriadPro; /* just declares a font in your stylesheet */
src: url('myriad pro/myriad pro/MyriadWebPro.ttf'),
url('myriad pro/myriad pro/MyriadWebPro.ttf');
}
body
{
/* now you need to use it */
font-family: MyriadPro, sans-serif;
/* so name it something useful, instead of just "font" */
}
