Font Awesome Icons not appearing

I have seen several people describe similar problems but none of what I have seen or tried has fixed my issue. I am storing Font Awesome 5 files locally but when I try to add some icons they do not appear in the browser. I have tried several browsers and all have the same result. I suspect the error is in how I have my CSS files configured or I need to add another FA file to my local machine, but I have not been able to prove either of these hypothesis. The snippet below does not work because I am running xampp and storing the files locally so I am also attaching some images of the maximum window as well as smaller window.

Solution

  • When using fontawesome.min.css via CDN none of your icons render. When using all.min.css they all do.

    Tested with "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.8.2/css/fontawesome.min.css" and "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.8.2/css/all.min.css"
