iOS Question Toolbar Buttons with Fontawesome Icons

[mike2ppc]

Dear forum members,

I've have following for me unexplained behavior in the page designer IDE by trying to add a toolbar button with fontawesome icon.
Instead the icon I receive from the clipboard the CHR code. Does someone know what's going wrong here and could give me please a hint ?

Best Regards
Michael

open IDE Page Designer

paste clipboard by STRG+V to the text field of the toolbar button.

Thank you Andrew , I also found this post, but it does not help me, because I proceed exactly as described there.

@mike2ppc , the difference I see from your screen shots is that you use the icon picker from the menu. The way described produced some text that looked like unprintable characters not "Chr(0xF073)"

I did this by temporarily adding a label to the layout and setting the text to FontAwesome, and then bringing up the icon picker there.
