What are some ways to customize text using Font-Awesome?

<i class="fa fa-envelope fa-lg">
    <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="aad8c5c8ccd8cbc4eacdc7cbc3c84ac9fbccdbdb">[email protected]</a>
</i>

I need assistance with changing the font type for the email address "[email protected]". Can anyone help me with this?

Answer №1

Perhaps you are looking for a font other than Font-Awesome.

Try something similar to this:

HTML

<i class="fa fa-envelope fa-lg"></i><span class="email_font"><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="8de8f5ece0fde1e8cdeae0ece4e1a3eee2e0">[email protected]</a></span>

CSS

span.email_font {
    font-family: "Times New Roman", Georgia, Serif !important;
}

Use Times New Roman as the font for your email address, with Georgia and Serif as backup fonts if Times New Romans are not available on the device/browser

You can also specify font-style: (normal, italic, oblique), font-weight: (normal, bold, number), and font-size: (px, %, etc). Other options are available, but these are the basics.

We could do

span.email_font {
    font-family: "Times New Roman", Georgia, Serif !important;
    font-style: italic !important;
    font-weight: bold !important;
    font-size: 15px !important;
}

This will display your email in Times New Roman, italicized, bold, and with a font size of 15px. Using !important ensures these styles are applied.

If you prefer inline styles for simplicity, although not recommended:

<i class="fa fa-envelope fa-lg"></i>
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; font-size: 15px ;"><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="46233e272b362a2306212b272f2a6825292b">[email protected]</a></span>

Answer №2

When it comes to applying glyph fonts in FontAwesome, the css ::before pseudo element is used.

The issue arises when changing the font for the .fa selector, resulting in the disappearance of glyphs. This occurs because the FontAwesome stylesheet assigns the font to the .fa selector.

To remedy this, simply adjust the font through the .fa selector and then revert the .fa::before selector back to FontAwesome.

i.fa {
   font-family: mono;
}
i.fa::before {
    font-family: 'FontAwesome';
}
<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<i class="fa fa-envelope fa-lg"><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="dfadb0bdb9adbeb19fb8b2beb6b3f1bcb0b2">[email protected]</a></i>

To give your text a different font, you can wrap it in a span with a specified class. Simply adjust the font settings for the class in your stylesheet. For example:

<html>
<head>
    .customFont 
    {
        font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    }
</head>

<body>
    <i class="fa fa-envelope fa-lg"></i>
        <span class='customFont'>
            <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6e1c010c081c0f002e09030f0702400d0103">[email protected]</a>
        <span>
</body>
</html>
