I'm not familiar with it myself, but 99/100 fontawesome issues I've seen on here is people using paid icons with the free version

Jimster•13mo ago

no it shouldnt be it cuz some hours ago they were showing + all of my icons are like this

share your code then, especially how you're including FontAwesome and your icons

i didnt change anything while they were working and when i checked now they appear like this square thing

are you getting any HTTP errors in the network tab of the devtools when you do a cacheless refresh? or any errors at all on the fontawesome URL?

Jimster•13mo ago

no, everything works great

Jochem•13mo ago

you'll have to share a live example then

Jimster•13mo ago

what should i show?

Jochem•13mo ago

the problem, that's really it. If you have this hosted somewhere, that's fine, otherwise you'll have to either put it up on github pages, codepen, stackblitz. The ideal way to share code for dev help is with a minimal example, so nothing more than what you need to reproduce the problem

my whole code is this

Jochem•13mo ago

right, so I can't run that I can't even click the link to the cloudflare CDN to see if the css loads, and I'm not going to type that out myself. Please check out #how-to-ask-good-questions

Create a codepen with it in, https://codepen.io/

The reason we ask people to create codepens and share live versions isn't because we're being difficult, but the more effort you put into helping others help you, the more likely you are to get an answer. Also, a lot of the time, making the minimal example you need will solve your issue for you, and you learn a ton doing it but anyway, your class should be fa-brands fa-accessible-icon, not fa-a fa-accessible-icon:

<i class="fa-brands fa-accessible-icon"></i>

<i class="fa-brands fa-accessible-icon"></i>

you have

*,
*::before,
*::after {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  font-family: "Gluten", cursive;
}

*,
*::before,
*::after {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  font-family: "Gluten", cursive;
}

and that font-family declaration overwrites the one from fontAwesome 🙂
