I love Font Awesome though I do not understand why they have to claim "The iconic font designed for Bootstrap" --- I have managed to use Font Aweome with Zurb Foundation and SASS and it works just fine.
- _mtr 13y ago"Designed for" isn't "requires". It was designed to be compatible with Bootstrap, but that doesn't preclude it from playing nice with other frameworks.
- zebra 13y agoKind of brandjacking - but as it is free product I fail to see this as an ill behavior.
- fortawesome 13y agoFair enough. Originally there was quite a bit of CSS to get it to play nice with Bootstrap. Now, it should have more compatibility across the board with all frameworks.
- zebra 13y agoClever move - every framework has or will have support for Bootstrap and Font Awesome respectively. BTW Good job, I appreciate your effort.
- skore 13y agoBootstrap is crazy popular and people know about it enough that they understand that "designed for Bootstrap" usually means "you can hack it to fit your stuff".
- jdminhbg 13y agoIt was designed for Bootstrap in the sense that it originally served as a drop-in webfont replacement for the image-based icons in Bootstrap. Bootstrap had <i class="icon-bookmark">, and adding FontAwesome just made that render as a font glyph instead of an image with no extra work.
