B4J Question Fontawesome issue

[ilan]

hi

i am using Fontawesome in my app and on my pc at home everything works fine. when i open the project on my pc at work i see only rectangles instead of the font.

how can i make sure that the user that will open the app will see it as i do on my pc?

Strange. Open the jar file with 7zip. Do you see a file named Files\FontAwesome.otf?

yes, it is inside:

Run the attached executable jar (assuming that you are using Java 8).

What do you see?

i am using Windows 7 pro on my work pc. could that be the reason?

thanx erel,

your example work. but i use hebrew text. is that the problem?

 

[Erel]

I see. The icons do appear, only the Hebrew letters are missing. You can try the attached jar. It works here.

You can combine multiple fonts with B4JTextFlow from XUI Views.

I have windows 7 pro on Hebrew. really weird
so you suggest using B4JTextFlow with own icons?

No. Use B4JTextFlow with two fonts, FontAwesome and a different one.

Actually now that I see your screenshot again, just use two labels instead of one.

this is why you are the head of Anywhere Software and i only use your Software. (why i have not thought about that)
