Nedrysoft Font Awesome for Qt

This library provides easy access to Font Awesome glyphs. It embeds a copy of the FontAwesome fonts and makes them available to the application.

Usage

To get the names of the fonts:

auto brandsFontName = Nedrysoft::FontAwesome::brandsName();
auto brandsFontName = Nedrysoft::FontAwesome::regularName();
auto brandsFontName = Nedrysoft::FontAwesome::solidName();

To get HTML text from a plaintext with FontAwesome tags:

QString html = Nedrysoft::FontAwesome::richText("Here is a robot [fas fa-robot]");

To get a QIcon from a glyph:

QIcon icon = Nedrysoft::FontAwesome::icon("[fas fa-robot]", 16, Qt::red);

Requirements

• Qt 5
• CMake

Building

To build the library, invoke CMake or open the CMakeLists.txt file in your preferred IDE.

Setting the following CMake variables allows the customisation of the build.

NEDRYSOFT_FONTAWESOME_LIBRARY_DIR=<dir>

Sets the output folder for the dynamic library; if omitted, you can find the binaries in the default location.

Credits

None of this is possible without FontAwesome.
