Why font awesome icon shows empty squares?


I would like to make a combination of icons via FA stack but it does not work. I have pure example from documentation and it shows me only empty squares. Code looks like:

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<span class="fa-stack" style="vertical-align: top;">
    	<i class="far fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i>
    	<i class="fas fa-flag fa-stack-1x"></i>
    </span>

and the result looks like on the picture below (last icon on the line). enter image description here What am I doing wrong?


Solution

  • Use the correct CDN which is the one of the V5 not the V4

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.12.0/css/all.css">
    
    <span class="fa-stack" style="vertical-align: top;">
        <i class="far fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i>
        <i class="fas fa-flag fa-stack-1x"></i>
    </span>
