How to install FontAwesome

• Download the zip containing all fonts from the link.

• Extract all otf's files inside ~/.local/share/fonts/. If you don't have the folder, create it.

• Use the following command: fc-cache -f -v

• If conflict with some other font than restart will probably solve the problem

• on config.h overwrite the line:

  • static const char *fonts[] = { "monospace:size=10" };

• to

  • static const char *fonts[] = { "monospace:size=10","fontawesome:size=10" };

Using it

• Choose a symbol here.
• Copy its unicode, or use directly with ctrl+c and ctrl+v.
