Font Awesome not working icons showing as squares

0 votes

So what I have been trying to do is to prototype a marketing page and I'm using Bootstrap and the new Font Awesome file. The problem is that when I try to use an icon, all that gets rendered on the page is a big square.

Here's how I include the files in the head:

<head> 
          <title>Page Title</title> 
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.css"> 
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap-responsive.css"> 
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/font-awesome.css"> 
          <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.css"> 
              <!--[if IE 7]> 
          <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/font-awesome-ie7.min.css"> 
<![endif]--> 

</head>


Also, here's an example of me trying to use an icon:

<i class="icon-camera-retro"></i>


But all that gets rendered in a big square so could anyone help me to know what could be going on?

You must have 2 classes, the fa class and the class that identifies the desired icon fa-twitter, fa-search, etc …

<!-- Wrong --> 
<i class="fa-search"></i> 

<!-- Correct --> 
<i class="fa fa-search"></i>



Hope this answers your question.
