font awesome icon size

By Steven Orloff, 9 years ago. Last reply by Steven Orloff, 9 years ago.

Hi,

I am wanting to use the fa-2x etc code for manually adding FA icons to my page. I noticed you don’t need the ‘fa’ in the code to manually place them on a page. But I can’t work out how to use the fa-2x etc code in the vantage theme.

    Hi Steven

    Perhaps you can paste the HTML and or CSS you’re using. You can change the size by setting the font-size: of the container. You can do that in Custom CSS. If you give me what you have so far I can try help out with that.

    Hi Andrew,

    That’s ok, I know how to do it via CSS with font size, it would just be a lot easier if I could just add the typical FA fa-2x in the icon code to increase its size. As i don’t want to increase the font size of the text next to it equally.

    an example would be where I’m doing a phone number on the page:

    <i class=icon-phone></i> 0439 394 203

    be better if it could just be

    <i class=icon-phone 2x></i> 0439 394 203

    makes coding a bit messy for me to just have to do that to change the icon size.

    If you wrapped that you could target the i container:

    <div class="contact-details">
<i class=icon-phone></i> 0439 394 203
</div>

    .contact-details .icon-phone { font-size: 20px; }

    Looking at the FA examples you’d need to add the class: fa-2x
    I have a feeling this might have been added after the version included with Vantage and that’s why it’s not working. Sorry about that. We have some legacy issues that haven’t been sorted yet, that’s why the library hasn’t been pushed to the latest version.

    No worries, thanks for that. If Vantage could be updated to support it would be great.

    thanks for the help.
