panzerscope Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Hello. So I know there is a plugin on the marketplace to enable Font Awesome 5 support. However when will IPS OFFICIALLY support FA 5 ? Font Awesome is moving to its 6th generation and IPS is currently on 4.7. It would make life easier for any of us using Font Awesome if IPS were to follow the latest stable versions :).

I can't for the life of me see where I get to 'use' the icons. 🤓🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodle Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 When are we ever going to get an update to Font Awesome, built into the core? Seems like it's overdue now and could easily be added in an update? Is it due to licensing costs or something? Ibai and SeNioR- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeNioR- Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) FA will be completely removed (at least I hope so). Edited November 24, 2022 by SeNioR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I‘m even using FA icons as custom forum and badge icons. Claudia999, Gabriel Torres, Giray and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I'm a fan of Font Awesome icons too. I have used them on my resume! Whether it is introduced into our core is another matter, however I will bring this to the attention of the team and will come back with any information for those that are interested.

I really hope that FA is someday integrated into the core. Also, if it ever is, remember that some of us have a FA PRO account which should somehow be incorporated. Of course, for now, we can all thank @aXenDev for his app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) With their current page-view based tiers, I can’t see how it would make sense as a core feature. Sure, there would be a few who would be willing to pay for it, but what about the 98% who wouldn’t? What would they see? It would at least need a fallback solution, in which case, IPS could just implement that and wouldn’t have to bother with the Font Awesome implementation in the first place. The only reason FontAwesome 4.7 made it into the product was that it was free and there were no limitations. If the system changes, it would probably better to find a different free solution.

Ehren Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 To do this correctly, many changes are needed to both HTML and CSS, not to mention 3rd party apps which use the 4.x icons. FontAwesome does provide a “backwards compatible” file which lets you use both the 4.x and 6.x code simultaneously, however it’s a fair amount of code which would impact loading times even further. Supporting Font Awesome 6 has been on my radar for a while now and unless my current plan changes, FA6 will be included by default in a future version, likely as part of a major rebuild. I don’t have any further information on that just yet, but your feedback has most definitely been heard 🙂 Ibai, Gary, opentype and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
