Only fields that use the FontAwesome or Material Icons font will show the icon characters properly. Click to expand... 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 Last edited: Dec 1, 2016
