B4J Question FontAwesome

[LucaMs]

They are implemented as regular font files which means that each icon is a regular character, exactly like any other Unicode character.
Only fields that use the FontAwesome or Material Icons font will show the icon characters properly.

I tried and, if I'm not wrong, you cannot use them in a TextField.


Also, although they are "implemented as regular font", used in a button the text seems not to include any "icon character".
EDIT: my mistake

You can but by code; the "FontAwesome Icons" property is missing.

There is no such property. You just need to set the Text field (make sure that the field uses the correct font).

I meant:

Text properties for buttons:

Text properties for TextFields:

So I cannot select an icon for a TextField as I do for buttons.

I don't see many use cases for this. However you can put icons in the Text field. They will show as squares in the designer but will work properly.
