• Assure you use a correct link to the CDN, such as:

• Reset your browsers cache. (On Chrome do a looong click on the reload button and select Hard Cache Reset)

• Assure that the or element you use, uses the FontAwesome font family. For example, it must not just

  }
  

• If you are using IE8, are you using a HTML5 Shim?
