Custom web fonts is missing

I'm using pro version and also have custom web fonts. But there is missing custom web fonts icon...

Hi!
Sorry, I'm going to need a bit more info than that to really help you. Which icon is missing for you? Which versions are you using? Does the icon exist on https://fontawesome.com/search? Otherwise it may have been removed.

Not OP, but I'm experiencing this issue too after having custom icons working and I'm not using this package. I'm thinking it might be a flutter issue, just wanted to add this comment in case it was helpful in the future.

I used font awesome to make a custom font asset file, and none of the icons are rendering. It's been tested in debug and release mode, and even when built for web, it just displays placeholder image.

Thanks @codingiswhyicry for your feedback. It seems like this is an issue with font awesome custom icons. Maybe they internally rearrange glyphs so they no longer show up using font_awesome_flutter. Another option could be that flutter cannot render the custom icon's format.

No matter what, custom icons are not something this package officially supports, as it is a pro-only feature. You may get them to work - and if you do please let me know how - but I have no plans on working on this.
