Hi there,

I'm trying to use the Font Awesome icons on my Joomla! site (v 3.2.1) but I find that some of them don't work - for example, "icon-eye". Is this because some of the icons are not included, not supported in articles (which is where I'm trying to add them by the way) or some other reason?

The template I am using is Cloudhost and I'm trying to add the icons in the article using this syntax:
Code: Select all
<i class="icon-eye"></i>


If it is indeed that not all icons are included, is there anywhere I can view a list of which ones are? I downloaded the Font Awesome ttf and viewed it in Font Book, but even there an icon I've used before doesn't show up in the font, so I'm lost as to where the icons are actually being taken from.

Thanks

Additionally, I just tried using "icon-download" and the article displayed this as the icon for "icon-arrow-circle-o-down" ... why is this?

Hi,
GK Cloud for J3.2 uses Font Awesome 3.2.1.
So if you want to use eye icon ---> you have to use
Code: Select all
<i class="icon-eye-open"></i>

Those shortcode was created by FA not by us,
check here: templates/gk_cloudhost/css/font-awesome.css

download icon --> class="icon-cloud-download"

Hi Pawel

Thanks for this information - by looking up Font Awesome 3.2.1 I was able to find the available set and their correct classes. In case anyone else has this issue, a quick Google returned http://fontawesome.io/3.2.1/icons/ as the useful link

Cheers for your help - a speedy resolution!
