Hi!
Thanks for being part of the Font Awesome Community.
I think this is not an bug.
far fa-question-circle
is the replacement for FA 4's fa fa-question-circle-o, and this explains why it is available in the free set of FA 5.
Also, I would compare fa-question-circle
with fa-exclamation-circle
, which is not present in FA5.
Even if this bug request could be turned into an icon request, then I should close the icon request because the icon is available in FA Pro, so I should close this directly 🤔
Let's ask @sensibleworld for thoughts before proceeding
can't believe this icon is not in the 'free' package, it used to be free in previous versions... having to load a complete package of 'solid' versions just to have something similar...

Hi, as I mentioned before in https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/16787#issuecomment-643362798, this icon was never been part of the free set.
If I'm missing something, please provide a link where info-circle
is included in the free set
This is an old ticket, but I'm running into this as well.
We have the Pro license for our closed-source project, but also build some open source components. We'd like to offer a consistent look and feel to our components, using the free font-awesome set, providing a way to configure pro-icons, if so licensed.
There are free variants for: circle-xmark, circle-check, circle-question but not for circle-info. The effect can be attained by using stacks ofcourse. So irrespective of the above I wonder if for consistency purposes circle-info could be made part of the free set?
Hi,

I suggest limiting the open-source icon style to solid. Regular icons would then be used for closed-source or Pro-licensed open-source projects, providing a clear visual distinction regarding license type.
So irrespective of the above I wonder if for consistency purposes circle-info could be made part of the free set?
This will lead to similar requests like:
circle-xmark
, circle-check
, circle-question
, and circle-info
are included but not X
where X may be:
circle-exclamation
circle-minus
circle-plus
or even:
circle-chevron-*
(4 icons)circle-arrow-*
(4 icons)While I acknowledge the inconsistency in the current approach, I've provided the historical context for including circle-question
among the regular free icons, as detailed in my previous comment.
Our general philosophy prioritizes providing a minimal set of regular icons for essential functionalities like status changes (star
, heart
), at the expense of visual uniformity.
Said so, I would prefer to see circle-info
, circle-exclamation
, circle-minus
, and circle-plus
all added rather than circle-info
alone
Let's ask some other thoughts to @robmadole
@tagliala has covered it well. The only thing I could add is that we will continue to think about this and how it affects users.
Describe the bug https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&q=info&m=free question-circle regular is free (excellent) info-circle regular isn't free, just solid. Hopefully by mistake?
To Reproduce https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&q=info&m=free
Expected behavior Would you please consider making info-circle regular free as well?
