FontAwesome V5 Pro.

Post by BLOMASKY »

I got it working fine with 8.3 after downloading the zip file and putting it into a "fontawesome-pro" folder under tomcat/webapps/AwareIM and ALSO adding what they call the "SHIM" files. So I edited my startup.html to look like this:

<link href="fontawesome-pro/css/all.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.8.2/css/all.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5 ... -shims.css">

of course, I commented out the fontawesome-free link.

Delete everything in folder AwareIM/fontawesome-free-5.6.3-web

Copy all the folders and files from your Fontawesome 5 Pro into AwareIM/fontawesome-free-5.6.3-web

Edit AwareIM\aware_kendo\resources\css\aware.css and change the Free near the top to Pro.

All good. everything seems to work for me
Cheers,
Mark

Both of these have negatives. If you copy everything into the font awesome free folder then you need to remember to copy over the font awesome fonts every time you update.

If you add a line to the startup.html then you need to remember to add the line every time that you update.

Don't make the mistake I did of just over writing the startup.html with a version that you have updated, this will cause you a PITA problem when you get a new feature like Kanban that relies on a new parser being added to the startup.

Also, if you go the route of adding a line to startup.html don't forget to update all the previewXXX.html files - otherwise you won't be able to see your font awesome icons in the config tool

This is GREAT!
Do you have access to all the new fonts and styles FA 5 pro provides?
What about all the add-on packages that come with the pro version can you access those as well?

Too many to name but I thought the pro version came with dozens of categories besides the additional icons you get with the pro version.

Bruce have you been able to use the fal (light) icons that come with pro?

I have banged my head against the wall for a whole two days now trying to get these to show up. I have tested enough configurations now to be 100% certain it is not something I have done, but need someone else to prove me wrong.

So did mine I was comparing with the free version. Spent all day testing this and I'm a bit stupid now.

Haven't tackled FA yet. What's the conclusion on this thread?

fal has been omitted from aware.css

You need to modify aware.css (until Vlad updates)

.fa, .fas, .far, .fal {
font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Pro' !important;

This should be at the top of aware.css

Did all this Mark and changed one of my edit fonts from fa fa-edit to fas fa-edit also tried far fa-edit and no icons are displaying!
Added what Pointwell suggested: .fa, .fas, .far, .fal {
font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Pro' !important;
What silly step did I miss???

Where are these PreviewXXX files and how do you update them?

Thanks
