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

TL;DR
  • Download Font Awesome from Font Awesome’s site and extract the .woff2 or .woff font files.
  • In Webflow, go to Project Settings > Fonts, upload the Font Awesome files, and name the font.
  • Add a Text Block or Heading, set the font to Font Awesome, and paste Unicode icons from the Font Awesome Cheatsheet.
  • Alternatively, use a Webflow Embed block with <i class="fa-solid fa-heart"></i> and ensure Font Awesome is loaded.
  • Use Webflow’s Typography settings or custom CSS to style icons.

1. Overview

You can now upload Font Awesome directly in Webflow, eliminating the need for external links or custom code. This tutorial will guide you through adding Font Awesome as a custom font and using its icons in your project.

2. Download Font Awesome

  • Go to Font Awesome’s official site and download the desktop version.
  • Open the downloaded ZIP file and locate the font files under the "webfonts" folder (especially the .woff2 or .woff files).

3. Upload Font Awesome to Webflow

  • Go to Webflow Designer and open the Project Settings.
  • Navigate to the Fonts tab.
  • Click Upload Custom Font and select the Font Awesome files (.woff2 or .woff recommended for best performance).
  • Name the font (e.g., "Font Awesome") and click Upload.

4. Apply Font Awesome Icons

Using Text Elements

  • In Webflow Designer, add a Text Block or Heading element.
  • Set the Typography font to "Font Awesome."
  • Copy and paste Unicode icons from Font Awesome Cheatsheet.
  • Example: (for a heart icon).

Using a Webflow Embed Block (Alternative Method)

  • Add an Embed element where you want the icon.
  • Insert this inline HTML inside Webflow:
    <i class="fa-solid fa-heart"></i> (for the solid heart icon).
  • Make sure Font Awesome is properly loaded as a custom font or include the CDN link (https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.x.x/css/all.min.css).

5. Styling Font Awesome Icons

  • Use Webflow’s Typography settings to adjust size, color, and alignment.
  • To modify an inline icon (<i> method), apply custom CSS using a Webflow Embed block:
  • Example: <style> .fa-heart { color: red; font-size: 36px; } </style>

Summary

You can now upload Font Awesome directly in Webflow as a custom font, apply icons via text elements, and style them using Webflow’s Typography settings. Alternatively, using an Embed block with Font Awesome classes allows more flexibility. This method enhances performance and keeps your project neatly integrated within Webflow.
