Yes, but you would need to register the custom SVG in a plugin (themes should soon also be able to add custom icons to the SVG sprite set). See Introducing Font Awesome 5 and SVG icons for details.
How do you set which style of an icon to choose? For example, the Font Awesome icon “copyright” has a solid and regular form. I’d like to use the solid one.
What do I do if an icon doesn’t show up? Right now everything works except for “cuttlefish”, for example.
I accidentally hit the reset button multiple times. Is there a way for us to save our settings so that if I accidentally hit reset, I don’t lose all those settings?
For most icons, you can use the far- prefix to pick the regular icon. By default, without a prefix, the icon style used will be solid. However, the copyright icon is a bit of an exception, because the old FA4 icon has been renamed to the FA5 regular version, and we have a mapping in core that essentially forces both copyright and far-copyright to use the regular style.
I think we can soon fix this, you’ll soon be able to correctly use the solid style for the copyright icon.
For “cuttlefish”, did you try adding “fab-cuttlefish”? This is a brand icon, hence the fab- prefix. Make sure you add this to both setting fields.
I’ve defined three tags that are attached to a Font Awesome icon:
bug-showstopper attached to skull-crossbone
bug-major attached to exclamation-triangle
bug-minor attached to exclamation-circle
This works just fine. However, I try to attach the fourth tag beetle to my uploaded svg-file beetle-face.svg. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work.
How do I attach my own svg-file to a tag properly? Please help me step-by-step. I’m really a beginner here on discourse (just started today) and I have limited background in web technology.
Thank you very much
Basically, you need to add the SVG icon to a sprite, give it an ID and then add the sprite to the theme and set the var name for it to icons-sprite. Once that’s done, you can use the ID of the icon like the FA icon ids (and don’t use the $ symbol).
