Font Awesome not showing up

**GK User** Tue Mar 03, 2015 7:20 pm

I do not get what I am doing wrong! In the footer are 4 font awesome icons. "Use typography" is turned on. This is the Steakhouse template for Joomla 3. For me they show as boxes instead of the icons. I can PM the login details as i have to have the site set to maintenance right now, just let me know who to send it to.

My code is:

Code: Select all: <h3 class="header">JOIN US!!!</h3>

Hi everybody

Sorry if this is not totally in tread with the initial purpose... But I encounter a problem with Font Awesome too.

The issue is related to Font Awesome icons that I wan't to be placed in a custom HTML module. The template used is University (Joomla 3.4.1. & template version 3.16).

The problem is that the icon only shows if I add some kind of text in connection with the icon. I wan't to show the icons without any text connected with it.

This is the code I have placed in the HTML module: .

If I remove the text - in this case the '.' nothing will show and the code will be corrupted/disappear.

If I keep the '.' the icon shows just fine.

My guess would be some kind of template error - or ?

Really hope you someone is able to help me out, as I do not understand what I might have done wrong.

Best & thanks in advance
/ Kristian

Hi

The site is a work-in-progress and therefore still offline. Here are some informations though.

The font awesome icons are put within a custom-html module which is placed in the header_bottom module position. The module is placed on the frontpage of the site.

The following code is what you would see in the editor if you had access:

"<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
.
Overvejer du en phd.?</td>
<td>
.
Iværksættter i maven</td>
<td>
.
Fremtidens leder</td>
<td>
.
Global karriere</td>
<td>
.
Privat økonomi</td>
<td>
.
Jobmarkedet</td>
<td>
.
Karriereakademi</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>"

I have attached an image that shows how the icons are shown on the frontpage.

What I wan't is the icons to show without beeing forced to add text in connection with the Font Awesome icons.

If I remove the text (here the '.' the code and the icon will disappear.
