How to add font awesome in CSS

I am trying to add a an icon from font awesome but for some reason it does not appear when I load the page. Below is my html code in which I attempted to add the font awesome in different ways.

          
Dummy Text
   

Try loading the font-awesome from https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.6.3/css/font-awesome.min.css instead of your local files

It worked perfectly. Still wondering the possible reason for the other way not working but will use that way so long.

You can add font-awesome css file in your «main.css» file

@import url('/font-awesome-4.6.3/css/font-awesome.min.css'); 

If you are planning to use CDN just add one line it to your css file (i.e. main.css) indicating from where the font style should be imported

@import url('https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css'); 

source of the link used in the example above: https://www.bootstrapcdn.com/fontawesome/

Try to call form font-awesome like this:

Or if you try from your site folder then download font-awesome and add fonts into your fonts folder and add font-awesome css into css folder then call it like this:

What you put in your link is the name of your folder.You should put the name of the file instead(font-awesome)

On the font-awesome folder look for the file called font-awesome,copy and paste on your browser text field so that you can see the correct path. Copy that path and paste in your link like this:

Just check the path correctly cause I see no other mistake. let me know if it does not work.

More Information

Validators

In order to provide the best possible experience to old and buggy browsers, Font Awesome uses CSS browser hacks in several places to target special CSS to certain browser versions in order to work around bugs in the browsers themselves. These hacks understandably cause CSS validators to complain that they are invalid. In a couple places, we also use bleeding-edge CSS features that aren’t yet fully standardized, but these are used purely for progressive enhancement.

These validation warnings don’t matter in practice since the non-hacky portion of our CSS does fully validate and the hacky portions don’t interfere with the proper functioning of the non-hacky portion, hence why we deliberately ignore these particular warnings.

Internet Explorer 8 and @font-face

IE8 has some issues with @font-face when combined with :before . Font Awesome uses that combination. If a page is cached, and loaded without the mouse over the window (i.e. hit the refresh button or load something in an iframe) then the page gets rendered before the font loads. Hovering over the page (body) will show some of the icons and hovering over the remaining icons will show those as well. See issue #954 for details.

Need IE7 Support?

If you need IE7 support, you have my condolences. Really. Font Awesome 4.7.0 doesn’t support IE7, but an older version does. You’ll need to check out the 3.2.1 instructions for using IE7. Then go complain to whoever decided your project needs IE7 support.
