More Information

Validators

In order to provide the best possible experience to old and buggy browsers, Font Awesome uses CSS browser hacks in several places to target special CSS to certain browser versions in order to work around bugs in the browsers themselves. These hacks understandably cause CSS validators to complain that they are invalid. In a couple places, we also use bleeding-edge CSS features that aren’t yet fully standardized, but these are used purely for progressive enhancement.

These validation warnings don’t matter in practice since the non-hacky portion of our CSS does fully validate and the hacky portions don’t interfere with the proper functioning of the non-hacky portion, hence why we deliberately ignore these particular warnings.

Internet Explorer 8 and @font-face

IE8 has some issues with @font-face when combined with :before . Font Awesome uses that combination. If a page is cached, and loaded without the mouse over the window (i.e. hit the refresh button or load something in an iframe) then the page gets rendered before the font loads. Hovering over the page (body) will show some of the icons and hovering over the remaining icons will show those as well. See issue #954 for details.

Need IE7 Support?

If you need IE7 support, you have my condolences. Really. Font Awesome 4.7.0 doesn’t support IE7, but an older version does. You’ll need to check out the 3.2.1 instructions for using IE7. Then go complain to whoever decided your project needs IE7 support.

Help & Support

Content Delivery Networks (CDN) are used all over the Internet. In short they are Internet servers that deliver all sorts of stuff to browsers and mobile devices faster and with more reliability than just using your own server. If you want to geek out read what Wikipedia says about them.

Why should I use a CDN?

CDNs can help with basic page and asset loading performance, which provides a more responsive and quick experience for your users. Two things are important when we talk about basic performance: the number of requests and the size of the response. There are basically three ways the CDN improve those biggest pain-points in content delivery.

1. By having a faster server (latency, concurrency)
2. By making sure it’s always available (scaling/distributing load)
3. By moving the server physically closer to the browser

How do I use Font Awesome via CDN on my site?

You’ll need to do just a few things in order to get started using Font Awesome via CDN on your project:

Create an Embed Code

Add that Embed Code to Your Project

Drop any of the 600+ icons in

Here’s an abbreviated example of a page that’s using Font Awesome CDN

What do you mean by Auto Accessibility?

Icons are symbols that can convey a ton of information and really help people comprehend directions, signs, and interfaces. Its important that we create and use them so that they can reach the largest amount of people possible. That means making sure our icons play well with technology that helps people navigate and use apps and sites.

According to this article, there are a potentially surprising number of folks with sight and hearing impairments: Blindness, low vision, and visual impairment represent 8.4% of the total world population and disabling hearing loss represents 5.3% of the total world population.

We’ve built-in ways to help technology that supports impairments, like screen readers, either ignore or better understand the Font Awesome icons you’re using. In short, we try to help with the following cases:

Using Icons are Decorative Elements

Using Icons for Semantic or Interactive Purposes

If enabled as a feature in your embed code, Font Awesome CDN will try to identify the scenarios above in your UI as well as provide the modern and proper syntax assistive technologies recognize. For icons that have semantic or interactive meaning, this means you’ll need to provide a proper text alternative to be used. Here’s how:

For icons that are decorative

Font Awesome CDN’s auto accessibility feature will make sure it is ignored by assistive technology. There’s nothing extra you need to on top of how you would usually reference an icon.

Here’s what your markup should be.

And Font Awesome CDN changes that to the following.

For icons that have semantic or interative meaning

Font Awesome CDN’s auto accessibility feature will try to apply a fallback alternative for the icon based on any any alternatives and configuration you set on the icon.

Here’s what your markup should be.

And Font Awesome CDN changes that to the following.

What are asynchronously loading icons?

When a web page loads, there are often many requests for files needed to render the interface and content. This can create a line of assets and information waiting to be understood and then presented by the browser. Some of the requests, such as initial or very important content and basic layout styling, may be needed right away. Others, such as icons, typefaces, and images, may not be as critical to load for users first. To help speed up the loading of pages, its wise to delegate the latter to loading after the critical set.

If enabled as a feature in your embed code, Font Awesome CDN will move the loading of Font Awesome’s icons and supporting styling from the critical request order and load them on a parallel track when the browser is available to.
