FontAwesome Icons
FontAwesome is icon toolkit based on CSS, initially created by Dave Gandy. The previous version 4 was mainly for the use of Twitter Bootstrap V3. The current version V5, released in December 2017, focuses on all frameworks used for web development. Today, the free FA icon set comes with 1400+ icons included.
Since version 5, the icon set comes in two packages: FontAwesome Free and the proprietary, commercial FontAwesome Pro version but requires a license fee to pay. The free versions (all releases up to 4 and the free version for 5) are available under SIL Open Font License 1.1, Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, and the MIT License.
FontAwesome V5 meets the Material Design idea of Google, and in comparison to Version 4, the current version is much more than face-lifting. The new version comes with more than 2300+ icons, but many are available only with the Pro license. For the Free version, only a subset of 900+ icons is available.
The CSS styles for FontAwesome V5 have been extended for the J1 Template to the same classes (and their respective names) for other Font Icon sets. Already existing styles like flipping |
You can check out what icons available at FontAwesome Icons. The icon set of version V5 is fully integrated - no need for additional resources to load.
In comparison to FA Version 4, a lot of differences are to be noticed If you haven’t used V5 yet, it is highly recommended to visit the Get started pages to learn the basics and features and styles for the current version. |
With version V5 of FontAwesome, the icon set is split into two general parts:
-
Standard icons, indicated by FAS
-
Brand icons, including symbols for companies and brands, indicated by FAB
Using FontAwesome with Asciidoc is quite easy to use as two inline macros |
Find below examples of both sets and how to use with J1 Template.

To access that framework, a Javascript client is needed. For the J1 Template, the client is build-in and is loaded if Iconify-Framework icons are requested as a resource. To see what icon sets are available with that framework, check the page Iconify-Framework Icon Sets.
