Most of Icons does not appear on .Net Core 3.1 Windows Forms App

Hello, I've installed FontAwesome.Sharp from NuGet Package Manager on a fresh .Net Core 3.1 Windows Forms App Project, I can create Icon Buttons but only few Icons appear.

Hi @Ghassenbbb,

In Designer they don't show up as of now. In runtime they should.

Hi @Ghassenbbb,

In Designer they don't show up as of now. In runtime they should.

I've tested it on Runtime too and still does not appear.

[mkoertgen]

Ok, could be related to #46 . Probably the unicodes changed and we have to regenerate the enums.

[mkoertgen]

Can you list some icons that definitely don't show up, e.g. FaCogs? That would make it easier to review & check.

I noticed that most of Icons that works are Brand Icons, and None of User Interface Icons works. Here is few Icons names that Does not Work :

• Trailer
• Bacteria
• Bacterium
• BoxTissue
• HandHoldingMedical
• HandSparkles
• HandsWash
• HandshakeAltSlash
• HeadSideCough
• Search
• Heart
• Tasks
• Filter
• Briefcase
• Link
• Cloud
• Flask
• Cut
• Copy
• Paperclip
• ListUl
• ... AND MORE

These ones works fine :

• BattleNet
• Centercode
• Jira
• Whmcs
• Unity
• Uikit
• Uber

Ah, ok that makes sense. The brands-section did change over the last few releases. However i would not have expected that some basic icons like Copy, PaperClip change their unicode-values in the release-process of fortawesome.

I will regenerate and publish a 5.14.1 today then. Thanks!

[Ghassenbbb]

Thanks @mkoertgen This is truly above and beyond. Keep it up

[mkoertgen]

Hi @Ghassenbbb , i just checked. The unicode-values did not change. Sadly, it seems to be a winforms-issue because WPF works fine.

[mkoertgen]

Just sample-checked winforms elements dropdown, menuitem, ... with Trailer, Bacteria & Bacterium, ....

Works without problems.

What elements did you notice with problems?

[Ghassenbbb]

I have only IconButton and IconPictureBox, I'm having the same issues on both of them.

[mkoertgen]

Thanks for getting back. I will double check IconButton/PictureBox.

The reason the brand icons are working is because the FallbackFont ends up being the fa-brands-400.ttf font.

The Typeface.TryGetGlyphTypeface(GlyphTypeface) method always returns false and the GlyphTypeface is always null here. This is the primary reason the font doesn't switch to the correct one and only works with brand IconChar's.

I'm now trying to determine why Typeface.TryGetGlyphTypeface(GlyphTypeface) is not returning the same results as .NET Framework vs .NET Core

[mkoertgen]

@FoxCouncil great work. Thanks man!

just built from source last commit however is still not working . here's what i got:

[FoxCouncil]

With the latest git commit, locally packed up into a nuget, and .NET 3.1 WinForms. I'll give .NET 5 a test soon...

Working both in Design Time and Runtime for me.

Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 Version 16.7.2

[Ghassenbbb]

@FoxCouncil Please when the fix will be available on NuGet.org ?

[mkoertgen]

@FoxCouncil @Ghassenbbb If you agree that the last commit is working for you we can push a release in the next hour

[Ghassenbbb]

@mkoertgen Excuse me, I don't know how to install the new fix from Github (I tried) , that's why im asking for a NuGet Package Update.

[mkoertgen]

Ok, no problem. I will push an update.

[Ghassenbbb]

@mkoertgen @FoxCouncil Thank you, great work, it works fine now.
