    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?

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

    What do you see?

    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 :confused:
    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.
