    Default Font Awesome

    Maybe this is the wrong thread
    I am using XPGD 365 and cannot find Font Awesome and I have searched many times. So my question is where is it? Supposedly it is included with XPGD365 but I sure cannot find it. Can anyone help?

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    If there is an insert menu like in XDP, it might be there. A menu selection called Symbol.

    But you can just go to the Font Awesome web site, download and install the font, then copy the desired symbol from their web page and paste it as well.

    Mike is correct. Insert > Symbol > Font Awesome.

    Used fonts are shown in the Name Gallery. However, when using Font Awesome symbols through the Insert menu, the font doesn't show. I've no idea how to quickly locate an incidental symbol other than by combing through the Page & Layer Gallery.

    Font awesome symbols can be inserted as shapes using the Select tool rather than the Text tool.
    If you have XDPX, you can use the Names gallery to see the associated attribute type:symbol.

    Once found, you can then use the context menu option Replace > With symbol.

    Xara adds Font Awesome text symbols as a class .xr_s2.
    You can use this CSS in the page head:
    <style> .xr_s2 {
    color: red;
    }
    </style>

    Addendum

    Xara adds Font Awesome text symbols as a class .xr_sn. The n depends on the number of font and styles used and when you added the symbol
    To get the exact class you need to examine xr_text.css to find exactly which class number (n) are being used for your symbols.
    A quick way I to search the source code in the Preview (right-click > View source) and search for "xr_s" (no digit) and look for SPANs that only have a pattern like "&#nnnnn;" with no other text.

    You can use this example CSS in the page head:
    <style> .xr_s2 {
    color: red;
    }
    </style>
    The number 2 above may be different your your design.
