First  check that you have class  fa  as well as whatever the icon s class is  So  not just   lt i class  fa-pencil  title  Edit  gt  lt  i gt    But also   lt i class  fa fa-pencil  title  Edit  gt  lt  i gt     Then it works as expected  This solved my issue

You needed to close your   lt link   gt    As you can see in your  lt head gt  lt  head gt  tag  This will solve your problem   lt head gt       lt link rel  stylesheet  href     css font-awesome css    gt       lt link rel  stylesheet  href     css font-awesome min css    gt   lt  head gt

On MacOS Mojave  I had this problem in Safari  The font-awesome images worked in Chrome but not in Safari  so I was sure it wasn t the site   I got them to render by going to Preferences in the Safari menu  and disabling unchecking  Prevent cross-site tracking  under the Privacy tab   Not sure why this fixed it  but it did

When you open font-awesome min css you can see following path    Fonts fontawesome-webfont ttf v 4 2 0        It means that you have to create directory Fonts and then copy files fontawesome-webfont ttf  fontawesome-webfont woff  fontawesome-webfont eot  to this folder  After that everything should work fine

Be aware that the new version  5  of font awesome uses  fas  or  fab  instead of  fa  prefix   Quoted from their website       The fa prefix has been deprecated in version 5  The new default is the fas solid style and the fab style for brands    This is why my fonts were showing blank squares  Now fixed   Example code    lt a class  nav-link  href    www facebook com xxx  target   blank  gt  lt i class  fab fa-facebook-f  gt  lt  i gt  lt  a gt    See  https   fontawesome com icons facebook-f style brands

I was following this tutorial to host Font Awesome Pro 5 13 myself   https   fontawesome com how-to-use on-the-web setup hosting-font-awesome-yourself  For some reason I could not get  lt link href   PUBLIC URL  font-awesome all min css  rel  stylesheet  gt  to load webfonts that in turn resulted in only squares showing up  But when I used  lt script defer src   PUBLIC URL  font-awesome all min js  gt  lt  script gt  everything started working  Both links were added in HTML  lt head gt

I successfully installed Font Awesome using their CDN and javascript include  as described on this page   Then I tried to copy the HTML and CSS to some legacy pages and suddenly I saw empty square boxes instead of the icons   I saw Daniel s answer  above  and because my legacy CSS file was huge  and years old  I suspected that was the issue  However when I looked in Chrome DevTools it really looked like Font Awesome was loaded     I was expecting to see the font in strikeout if there was an issue    However I had really exhausted all my options so I checked the Computed Styles and saw clearly that the Font Awesome font was definitely not being used   See the Rendered font at the bottom     My legacy CSS file was a mess and I preferred not to touch it  so I cheated by doing this - please don t tell anyone      lt a class  nav-link fa fa-instagram  style  font-family FontAwesome   href    www instagram com xxxx   target   blank  gt  lt  a gt    Also to note  when I upgraded from Font Awesome version 4 7 0 to version 5 4 1 this issue went away  I used this setup guide and this HTML   lt a class  nav-link  href    www instagram com xxxx   target   blank  gt  lt i class  fab fa-instagram  gt  lt  i gt  lt  a gt

Watch out for Bootstrap   Bootstrap will override  fa classes  If you re bringing in both packages separately thinking  I ll use Bootstrap for responsive block handling and Font-Awesome for icons   you need to address the  fa classes inside Bootstrap so they don t interfere with Font-Awesome s stand-alone implementation     eg  font-family  FontAwesome  in Bootstrap will interfere with font-family  Font Awesome 5 Free  in Font-Awesome and you will get a white box instead of the icon you want   There may be cleaner ways of handling this  but if you ve gone down the checklist trying to fix the  white box  issue and still can t figure it out  like I did   this may be the answer you re looking for

Based on the 5 10 1 version   My solution  locally     If you re using  fontawesome css  or  fontawesome min css   try using  all css  instead  located in the css folder   The  css  folder and the  webfonts  folder from the fontawesome package that you downloaded must be in the same level as each other    In my case  I already had a css folder so I just renamed the fontawesome css folder to  css-fa    With both  css-fa  and  webfonts  in my css folder  simply link it correctly in your text editor and it should work    Ex  link rel  stylesheet  href  css css-fa all css

In my case i made the following mistake in my css code          font-family   Open Sans   sans-serif  important      This will override all font family rules for the entire page  My solution was to move the code to body like so   body      font-family   Open Sans   sans-serif      NB  Whenever you use the  important flag in css  any other css rule declared of the same type on the same element will get overriden

Check that the path to your CSS file is correct  Rather prefer absolute links  they are easier to understand since we know where we start from and search engines will also prefer them over relative links  And to reduce bandwidth rather use the link from font-awesome servers     lt link rel  stylesheet  href  http   maxcdn bootstrapcdn com font-awesome 4 2 0 css font-awesome min css  type  text css  gt    Moreover if you use it  there will be no need of uploading extra fonts to your server and you will be sure that you point to the right CSS file  and you will also benefit from the latest updates instantly

For a start  you shouldn t have both font-awesome css and font-awesome min css  Generally  use font-awesome css during development  then switch to font-awesome min css once you re happy with the site   Problems like this are often caused by relative paths and locations  so check where your html file is in relation to the css   If your html file is in the base directory  and the css in a subfolder off the root  you would need  href    css font-awesome css   single period

So it seems adding style  font-weight normal   or otherwise changing the font directly on the element overrides the  fas font-weight 900  definition in Font Awesome s CSS file   I guess the font has specific defines within the font file that it works with  It seems the font-weight must be set between 501 and 1000  or the font may look like a square block
