academicons

Description

The academicons package provides access in (La)TeX to 146 high quality icons of online academic profiles included in the free Academicons font. This package requires either the Xe(La)TeX or Lua(La)TeX engine to load the Academicons font from the system, which requires installing the bundled academicons.ttf font file.

Warning

As new releases come out, it is recommended to install the bundled font version as there may be differences between the package and previous font versions or newest font versions not yet contemplated in the package.

The Academicons font was designed by James Walsh and released¹ under the open SIL Open Font License². This package is a redistribution of the free Academicons font with specific bindings for (La)TeX. It is inspired and based on the fontawesome³ package.

Usage

\aiicon

The academicons package provides the generic \aiicon command to access icons, which takes as mandatory argument the name of the desired icon. It also provides individual direct commands for each specific icon. The full list of icons and their respective names and direct commands can be found in the manual. For example, \aiicon{googlescholar} yields the same result as \aiGoogleScholar.
