Adding FontAwesome icons to a D3 graph

Question

I am trying to set an icon with FontAwesome instead of text in my D3 nodes. This is the original implmentation, with text:

g.append(\'svg:text\')
    .attr(\         


        

Answer 1

Font awesome 4.x versions are not supporting if we use as follows

svg.append('text')
   .attr('x', 15)
   .attr('y', -17)
   .attr('fill', 'black')
   .attr('font-family', 'FontAwesome')
   .attr('font-size', function (d) { return '20px' })
   .text(function (d) { return '\uf2b9' });

so replace this

.attr('font-family', 'FontAwesome')

with

.attr("class", "fa")

Hope it helps for FA 4.x
