Datepicker arrow icons don't work with Font Awesome Pro


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

akrolis pro asked 6 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.

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";

Hello,

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