Topic: Datepicker arrow icons don't work with Font Awesome Pro

akrolis pro asked 5 years ago


Actual behavior: I'm using MDBootstrap v.7.5.3 and I recently purchased Font Awesome Pro. With Font Awesome pro 5.8.2 the arrow icons for Previous/Next Month don't show up properly in the datepicker. If I change it back to FAwesome 5.8.2 free they are ok.

Hello,

Thank you for reporting this problem, we will take care of that. As a workaround for now, please try to overwrite those styles in your styles.scss file and let us know if that helped.

.picker__nav--prev:before,
.picker__nav--next:before {
  font-family: 'Font Awesome Pro', 'Font Awesome 5 Free' !important;
}

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately that workaround didn't work.

Ok this worked:

.picker_nav--prev:before, .picker_nav--next:before { font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Pro', 'Font Awesome 5 Free' !important; }

Thanks again.

Hello,

We are currently working on removing FA dependency from the components (where possible) or adjusting the styles to provide support for FA Pro.

Hi there,

we have the same problem and would appreciate a common solution.

Currently our workaround is to introduce a new sass variable for all 'Font Awesome 5 Free' occurrences and replace it with 'Font Awesome 5 Pro'

In _custom-variables.scss:

// Font-Awesome Pro
$font-awesome-font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Pro";
