Can someone provide a tutorial on using Font Awesome in Webflow now that font uploading capability has been added?

TL;DR
  • Download and extract Font Awesome files from their website.
  • Upload the extracted font files (.woff and .woff2) to Webflow via Project Settings > Fonts tab.
  • In Webflow Designer, apply Font Awesome to text elements and use the cheatsheet to insert icons.
  • Customize icon styles using the Style panel like other text elements.

Using Font Awesome in Webflow: A Tutorial

​

To effectively incorporate Font Awesome into your Webflow project, follow these streamlined steps to enhance your design with an array of icons.

​

1. Download Font Awesome Files

  • Visit the Font Awesome website and download the free version of the font package. You might choose the Pro version if you have a license.
  • Extract the downloaded package to access the font files.

​

2. Upload Font Files to Webflow

  • Log in to your Webflow account and open your desired project.
  • Go to Project Settings and then select the Fonts tab.
  • Click on the Upload Custom Fonts button.
  • Upload the Font Awesome font files (typically the .woff and .woff2 file formats) you extracted earlier. Ensure you upload both to support different browsers.

​

3. Use Font Awesome Icons in Design

  • Once the fonts are uploaded, go to your Webflow Designer.
  • Select any text element or create a new one where you want to apply an icon.
  • Change the font family of the text element to Font Awesome using the font settings panel.
  • To add an icon, refer to the Font Awesome icon cheatsheet available on their website. Copy the icon name.
  • Paste the icon name inside the text element, then wrap it in quotation marks (e.g., "\f007").

​

4. Customize Icon Style

  • Modify the icon size, color, or any other CSS properties using the Style panel in Webflow.
  • Icons behave like text, so you can style them alongside other text properties.

​

Summary

Adding Font Awesome to your Webflow project involves downloading the fonts, uploading them via Project Settings, and then using them within your design using text elements. Icons can be customized like other text, enhancing flexibility in styling.

​

This is a straightforward process to enrich your Webflow site with a consistent and scalable iconography library.
