Icon Tutorial? #8

I was wondering if you could post some basic directions on how you make the fonts and make them compatible with Font Awesome commands. I already have the vector graphic that I'd like to use, and I have had minor success in making a font using fontastic.me, but it's not compatible with the other commands (like fa-3x). I'm already using some Font Awesome icons and a few of your Academic Icons, I just want to add something else to my own personal font. Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure why the fonts you've generated aren't compatible with the Font Awesome classes, since those are quite general. I'd recommend using IcoMoon. You can actually import the Academicons SVG file into a new project on there and inspect all the icons in quite some detail.

Thanks. I'll try that out and see if I can get it to work.
