Notes about Font Awesome 5
Codepoints grouping
Font Awesome 5 splits the different styles of icons into different font files with identical codepoints for light, regular and solid styles, and a different set of codepoints for brands. We have put the brands into a separate header file.
Generating Pro header files
Download the Font Awesome Pro Web package. To generate the headers, drop icons.yml in the same directory as GenerateIconFontCppHeaders.py before running the script. The file icons.yml is under ..\fontawesome-pro-n.n.n-web\metadata\icons.yml where n.n.n is the version number.
Example Code
Using dear imgui as an example UI library:
#include "IconsFontAwesome5.h"
ImGuiIO& io = ImGui::GetIO();
io.Fonts->AddFontDefault();
// merge in icons from Font Awesome
static const ImWchar icons_ranges[] = { ICON_MIN_FA, ICON_MAX_FA, 0 };
ImFontConfig icons_config; icons_config.MergeMode = true; icons_config.PixelSnapH = true;
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF( FONT_ICON_FILE_NAME_FAS, 16.0f, &icons_config, icons_ranges );
// use FONT_ICON_FILE_NAME_FAR if you want regular instead of solid
// in an imgui window somewhere...
ImGui::Text( ICON_FA_PAINT_BRUSH " Paint" ); // use string literal concatenation
// outputs a paint brush icon and 'Paint' as a string.
Projects using the font icon header files
