In WPF designer i do not see the Icons. In the compiled program however they are displayed

Hi @KaeptnHelmut, thanks for reporting the issue.

This seems to be a duplicate of https://github.com/awesome-inc/FontAwesome.Sharp/issues/3 which we closed back then.

If this is bugging you give a quick reply that this should be fixed or better yet, submit a PR.

Hi @mkoertgen I'm experiencing the same issues. To reproduce:

Create a brand new WPF C# Project
Install Nuget package for FontAwesome.Sharp
Add necessary xmlns for FontAwesome
Add the following button the the default grid: <fa:IconBlock Icon="Info" Foreground="Chocolate"/>
Square visible in designer instead of Info button.

This isn't a huge issue as it's visible in the built application, but I'm curious if there is any known fix for this or a way to have them show up in the designer too?

Thanks

Hi @Incisive ,

We did not track this one down exactly but suggested some pathways to go down in https://github.com/awesome-inc/FontAwesome.Sharp/issues/3#issuecomment-248824813

If you have some time to spare we would love to accept a PR on this.
