Install Guide or Font Bundle for FA Pro 5.x ?

[steveharman]

Hi,

I'm trying to piece together the various snippets of instructions but i just can't get my head around the steps I need to take. I've had this working in the past but even then i recall it being more by accident after trying many things! :-)

Is there a step-by-step guide or has someone made a Font Bundle for the current FA 5.x fonts?

Thanks,

Steve

@steveharman hi Steve, I planned to put FA Pro free fonts into main font-bundle but if you'd like to try by your own we talked in this issue after your issue in that repository keremciu/sketch-iconfont#170

yea but waiting for main font-bundle update is the easiest way :)

Hi @keremciu Thanks for the response.

This is and continues to be a fantastic project - arguably with the extensive use of icon fonts in modern web & mobile design, Sketch should be paying you to develop it! :-)

However I just don't have the time to get my head around how it all hangs together with SVGs, config files, font names and and... Or put another way - I simply don't understand it all.

As I say, I did manage to get it set up once but even then I dare not touch anything as I made it work by accident more than comprehension.

I'll have to carry on with the FA cheat sheet for now and hope that a FA 5 font bundle surfaces from someone more skilled than I. ;-)

Cheers,

@keremciu thank you for your continued support on this project. Do you have an estimate on when Font Awesome 5 will be included as part of this bundle? I've been using your plugin for over a year but now have a team working exclusively w/ FA5 so I have to either figure out how to get it to work or find an alternative plugin - would prefer to stay with icon font!

here's a recent working one in this thread:

1.- Download Zip file, unzip
2.- Install font in OSX
3.- in Sketch go to Plugins >Icon Font> Install SVG
