#mainN         


        

Answer 1

that's probably about pricing model... ;)

Solid    Free           fas   <i class="fas fa-camera"></i> 
Regular  Pro Required   far   <i class="far fa-camera"></i> 
Light    Pro Required   fal   <i class="fal fa-camera"></i> 
Brands   Free           fab   <i class="fab fa-font-awesome"></i>

Answer 2

I found a solution.

• Integrate fontawesome-all.css

• At the end of file Search the second @font-face and replace

  font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free';

With

font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 FreeR';

And replace:

.far {
  font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free';
  font-weight: 400; }

With

.far {
  font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 FreeR';
  font-weight: 400; }

Answer 3

npm i --save @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

My Sccs:

@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/v4-shims";

It worked fine for me!

Answer 4

Strangely you must put the 'font-weight: 900' in some icons so that it shows them.

#mainNav .navbar-collapse .navbar-sidenav .nav-link-collapse:after {
  content: '\f107';
  font-family: 'Font Awesome\ 5 Free'; 
  font-weight: 900; /* Fix version 5.0.9 */
}

Answer 5

Strangely you have to include the font-family and the font-weight for it to work. Here is what worked for me:

.second-section-header::after {
    content: "\f259";
    font-family: 'Font Awesome\ 5 Free';
    font-weight: 900;
}

From there, you can begin adding any styles that you want.

Let's say:

.second-section-header::after {
    content: "\f259";
    font-family: 'Font Awesome\ 5 Free';
    font-weight: 900;
    font-size: 100px;
    color: white;
    z-index: 1;
    position: absolute;
}

I hope this helps.

Answer 6

The problem is in the font-weight.
For Font Awesome 5 you have to use {font-weight:900}
