Is it just me or there are actually icons in FontAwesome 3.x.x that are missing from FontAwesome 4.0.0? If so, this definitely makes FontAwesome much less awesome for me...
For example, I can't seem to find the equivalent to icon-remove
(there is no fa-remove
, or fa-delete
as far as I can tell).
Having to rename all icon references in my application is annoying enough. Not being able to reproduce what was possible in 3.0 is really, really bad.
Not being able to access v3.x cheatsheet and other documentation any more: unacceptable!
If you installed the Free Font Awesome version but try adding Pro icons to your web pages, they won't show. The solution to this is either you use the alternative free icons or upgrade to a Pro subscription/license.
You can place Font Awesome icons just about anywhere using the CSS Prefix fa and the icon's name. Font Awesome is designed to be used with inline elements (we like the <i> tag for brevity, but using a <span> is more semantically correct). icon If you change the font-size of the icon's container, the icon gets bigger.
icon-remove
is renamed to fa-times
in v4.0.0.
Quick comparison:
Note that some icons that seem to be missing can be easily constructed using stacking options - I have created an example for icon-remove-sign
replaced by fa-times
stacked on fa-circle
.
Note: As @VaclavElias pointed out, icon-remove-sign
is now fa-times-circle
. The above is just an example of stacking.
