fontAwesome and Material icons

Unread post by olgarev_tw »

Hi!

Our software interface is based on fontAwesome and Material icons. I wish I can use these icons in the manuals not as images, but as html, such as <span class="material-icons-outlined">home</span> or <i class="fa fa-file-image-o"></i>. But in the web help these html blocks are not displayed. How can I embed these fonts into my web help and PDF as well? And do you think it is a good idea? )

Hi Olga,

Font Awesome and any other icon fonts you want to use are supported directly in Help+Manual 8, and in a much better way than what you suggest here. They are converted to fully-scalable SVGs on export, so that they can be used without font compatibility problems in both PDF and HTML. See here for details:
