I am also facing problems showing the fontawesome icon in my template as a pseudo element. I have tried various suggestions from other threads here but still no solution works.
stylesheet font awesome is loaded, content "\fbb" appears in the pre-loaded css stylesheet
Then I want to place the icon by adding a pseudo element into my custom css:
.article-header::before {
font-family: "FontAwesome";
content:"\f5bb";
font-size: 2.4em;
}
All I get is squares instead of the real item.
I have tried to change font family to "Font Awesome Free" like many suggested, but then no content is inserted at all!
