I didn t want to use the  all  version  so searched the  fontawesome-all min css  file  previously included in the header  for  family  tag and found at the end a declaration  font-face font-family   Font Awesome  5 Free   font-style normal   So  in the stylesheet for an element where I wanted to use the content    f0c8   code  I ve added  or changed to  font-family  Font Awesome  5 Free  and it worked    frb input type  checkbox     label before       font-family  Font Awesome  5 Free      content    f0c8       font-weight  900      position  absolute

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

If you are using SVG with JavaScript you need to enable this because it s disabled by default  Use    lt script data-search-pseudo-elements      gt    inside your script tag

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

I had to set searchPseudoElements to to true to get it working in Angular5   import fontawesome from   fortawesome fontawesome       fontawesome config searchPseudoElements   true      content    f12a   font-family   Font Awesome 5 Solid

User · Answer

Since FontAwesome 5  you have to enable a new  searchPseudoElements  option to use FontAwesome icons this way     lt script gt    window FontAwesomeConfig         searchPseudoElements  true      lt  script gt    See also this question  Font awesome 5 on pseudo elements and the new Font Awesome API  https   fontawesome com how-to-use font-awesome-api  Additionaly  change font-family in your CSS code to   font-family   Font Awesome 5 Regular

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

User · Answer

the solution is call it like normal font    font-face   font-family   Font Awesome 5 Free-Regular-400   src  url    fonts Font 20Awesome 205 20Free-Regular-400 otf  format  opentype

User · Answer

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

User · Answer

Requiring 900 weight is not a weirdness but a intentional restriction added by FontAwesome  since they share the same unicode but just different font-weight  so that you are not hacking your way into using the  solid  and  light  icons  most of which are available only in the paid  Pro  version

I had tried all above the solutions for Font Awesome 5 but it wasn t working for me       Finally  I got a solution    Just use font-family   Font Awesome 5 Pro   in your CSS instead of using font-family   Font Awesome 5 Free OR Solids OR Brands
