FontAwesome weight issue addressed in Pro2.3.0 / X6.3.0?

Hi all,

Can you confirm whether the Font Awesome font-weight issue (as flagged here and here) is resolved with the new version of X and Pro? It’s not mentioned in the bugfix list.

Hi Gee,

Thanks for reaching out.

It’s not a bug, the new FontAwesome icons are redesigned to have thicker icons. The 400 would work unless it’s not supported by the browser. You can compare it here

https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/
https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery (5.0+)

This isn’t a bug or theme restriction but by the font library itself.

Thanks!

Your colleague describes the behavior as a bug:

The fact that CSS had to be added would also suggest it’s a bug.

Did you read the thread at https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/font-awesome-font-weight/38361/2 ?

Hi KEXINO,

I’m sorry for any confusion here. I can there is bug affecting certain icons. I mistakenly overlooked this in a conversation which is why Rad said it’s not a bug - although it is true that the reason things changed so much was due to Font Awesome making all the icons thicker. The icon will still be thicker than the original Font Awesome version 4 design.

This has been fixed and will be part of the point release going out to manual updates today.

Thanks for the clarification - much appreciated!

You’re most welcome!
