Conflicts with fontawesome

[carc1n0gen]

It looks like this pack conflicts with fontawesome. Is there a version that doesn't?

I am not aware of any Font Awesome conflicts, it was designed to specifically not conflict with FA at all.

Can you elaborate?

Having the same issue when running with webpack and ES6. In webpack.config.js, were exporting the module with the following loaders { test: /\.(woff|ttf|eot|svg)(\?v=[a-z0-9]\.[a-z0-9]\.[a-z0-9])?$/, loader: "url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff" }, { test: /\.woff2(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/, loader: "url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff" }, { test: /\.ttf(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/, loader: "url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=application/octet-stream" }, { test: /\.svg(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/, loader: "url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=image/svg+xml" } In App.js import 'font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css'; import 'weather-icons/css/weather-icons.css';

If I remove the code from webpack.config.js font-awesome won't load and weather-icons will. Other wise font-awesome will load and weather-icons will not render.

Font Awesome is also using private use area, and in the same unicode locations. For instance, icon wi-day-sunny-overcast maps to unicode character f00c. But, f00c is also defined in font awesome as the check character. When you use both FA and weather icons, there is indeed a conflict.

This is true that they use the same space, but since they use a different “font-family” they don’t conflict. It’s just like any other font, they all use the same unicode addresses. I have used Font Awesome and Weather Icons together.

They're even used on the same page here: https://erikflowers.github.io/weather-icons/

I believe my issue was that I was using an online tool called fontello, which lets you pick and choose font icons from various packs, and builds a single font face. That is probably why I experienced overlap

that makes sense. my particular use case is that I'm setting up a little weather thingy in polybar and I simply cannot get the fonts to cooperate. Font awesome always seems to override other fonts, butI can't seem to get to the bottom of why.

Anyways, I blamed the wrong culprit :flushed: sorry about that!
