The iconic font designed for
use with Twitter Bootstrap
You asked, Font Awesome delivers with 40 shiny new icons in version 3.0. This giant set of new icons was requested on the Font Awesome GitHub project.
It's easy to integrate Font Awesome into Twitter Bootstrap, or even use it on its own.
Use this method if integrating with Twitter Bootstrap using LESS
@import "sprites.less"; with @import "font-awesome.less";
@font-face {
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
src: url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.eot');
src: url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.svg#FontAwesome') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Use this method if integrating with Twitter Bootstrap using CSS.
<head> of your html, reference the location to your font-awesome.css.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/bootstrap.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/font-awesome.css">
Font Awesome works just as well without Twitter Bootstrap.
Many examples re-used from the Twitter Bootstrap documentation.
Use Font Awesome icons in:
Place Font Awesome icons just about anywhere with the <i> tag.
<div style="font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.5em;"> <i class="icon-camera-retro"></i> icon-camera-retro </div>
Increase the icon size by using the icon-large class. This increases the size by 33% relative to the font-size of the container.
<div style="font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.5em;"> <i class="icon-camera-retro icon-large"></i> icon-camera-retro </div>
