Font Awesome Icons Are Not Working in Some Browsers

Font Awesome icons are not working, I have included all required files

Under your reference, you have this:

<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

Specifically, the href= part.

However, under your full html is this:

<link src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

Have you tried replacing src= with href= in your full html to become this?

<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

Font Awesome Icons are not working in HTML

Change fas fa-user-md to fa fauser-md and add it directly to button.

Like so -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" integrity="sha384-wvfXpqpZZVQGK6TAh5PVlGOfQNHSoD2xbE+QkPxCAFlNEevoEH3Sl0sibVcOQVnN" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Open+Sans&family=Poppins:wght@300&family=Roboto&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<title>To do List</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>My todo list</h1>
</header>

<form>
<input type="text" class="todo-input">
<button class="todo-button fa fa-user-md" type="submit">
</button>
<div class="select">
<select name="todos" class="filter-todo">
<option value="all">All</option>
<option value="completed">Completed</option>
<option value="uncompleted">Uncompleted</option>
</select>
</div>
</form>

<div class="todo-container">
<ul class="todo-list"></ul>
</div>

<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Font Awesome Icons do not display correctly across browsers

Could it be that your local version of font-awesome has some issues? Try using the CDN link instead.

Here's a helpful link to troubleshooting page on the Github repository of font awesome: Font awesome troubleshooting

EDIT:

Error in the question owner's case:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="filepath/font-awesome-4.6.3%202/css/font-awesome.min.css">

The reference to the question owner's copy of 'font-awesome.min.css' is malformed and has file path issues.

Solution:

Option 1: Make sure your reference file path is formed correctly and points to a valid copy of 'font-awesome.min.css'.

Option 2: Use a version provided by the CDN like so

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.6.3/css/font-awesome.min.css">

Some FA icons are displayed in FF, Chrome and Safari, but no browser displays them all

I doubt that somebody will be as stupid as I am, but nevertheless I let you know about the mistake in my code.

Font Awesome consists of three fonts which are free to use.

  • FA Brands
  • FA Regular
  • FA Solid

In the *.css they are called with @font-face and inside of that they are separated by font-family: <Font Name>.

If you look at my previous code, every font (brands, regular and solid) is called separatly with an individual @font-face-argument. And that's where the magic happens!
Since FA Regular and FA Solid are both part of the family called Font Awesome 5 Free several browsers seem to struggle with finding the correct font if there are two different fonts declared to be in the same family. The reason FA Brands was displayed properly is that its family is called Font Awesome 5 Brands.

Long story short. Out of

@font-face {
font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Brands';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.eot");
src: url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.woff2") format("woff2"), url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.woff") format("woff"), url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.ttf") format("truetype"), url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }

@font-face {
font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.eot");
src: url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.woff2") format("woff2"), url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.woff") format("woff"), url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.ttf") format("truetype"), url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }

@font-face {
font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 900;
src: url("../fonts/fa-regular");
src: url("../fonts/fa-solid-900.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("../fonts/fa-solid-900.woff2") format("woff2"), url("../fonts/fa-solid-900.woff") format("woff"), url("../fonts/fa-solid-900.ttf") format("truetype"), url("../fonts/fa-solid-900.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }

I made

@font-face {
font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Brands';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.eot");
src: url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.woff2") format("woff2"), url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.woff") format("woff"), url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.ttf") format("truetype"), url("../fonts/fa-brands-400.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }

@font-face {
font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400, 900;
src: url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.eot");
src: url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.woff2") format("woff2"), url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.woff") format("woff"), url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.ttf") format("truetype"), url("../fonts/fa-regular-400.svg#fontawesome") format("svg");

src: url("../fonts/fa-solid-900.eot");
src: url("../fonts/fa-solid-900.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("../fonts/fa-solid-900.woff2") format("woff2"), url("../fonts/fa-solid-900.woff") format("woff"), url("../fonts/fa-solid-900.ttf") format("truetype"), url("../fonts/fa-solid-900.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }

And now it works like a charm for all browsers.

Thanks to all your advice and help!

Have a good one,
Marcel

Font Awesome not working, icons showing as squares

According to the documentation (step 3), you need to modify the supplied CSS file to point to the font location on your site.
