# IconFontCppHeaders
[https://github.com/juliettef/IconFontCppHeaders](https://github.com/juliettef/IconFontCppHeaders)
C++11, C89 headers and C# classes for icon fonts Font Awesome, Fork Awesome, Google Material Design icons, Kenney game icons and Fontaudio.
A set of header files and classes for using icon fonts in C, C++ and C#, along with the python generator used to create the files.
Each header contains defines for one font, with each icon code point defined as ICON_*, along with the min and max code points for font loading purposes.

## Notes about Font Awesome 5
### Codepoints grouping
Font Awesome 5 splits the different styles of icons into different font files with identical codepoints for *light*, *regular* and *solid* styles, and a different set of codepoints for *brands*. We have put the brands into a separate header file.
### Generating Pro header files
Download the Font Awesome Pro Web package. To generate the headers, drop *icons.yml* in the same directory as *GenerateIconFontCppHeaders.py* before running the script. The file *icons.yml* is under *..\fontawesome-pro-n.n.n-web\metadata\icons.yml* where *n.n.n* is the version number.
## Ionicons and webfont Material Design Icons
Unsupported as of 29 Apr 2020. See [Issue #16](https://github.com/juliettef/IconFontCppHeaders/issues/16).
## Example Code
Using [Dear ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) as an example UI library:
```Cpp
#include "IconsFontAwesome5.h"
ImGuiIO& io = ImGui::GetIO();
io.Fonts->AddFontDefault();
// merge in icons from Font Awesome
static const ImWchar icons_ranges[] = { ICON_MIN_FA, ICON_MAX_FA, 0 };
ImFontConfig icons_config; icons_config.MergeMode = true; icons_config.PixelSnapH = true;
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF( FONT_ICON_FILE_NAME_FAS, 16.0f, &icons_config, icons_ranges );
// use FONT_ICON_FILE_NAME_FAR if you want regular instead of solid
// in an imgui window somewhere...
ImGui::Text( ICON_FA_PAINT_BRUSH " Paint" ); // use string literal concatenation
// outputs a paint brush icon and 'Paint' as a string.
```
## Projects using the font icon header files
### [Avoyd](https://www.enkisoftware.com/avoyd)
Avoyd is a 6 degrees of freedom voxel game that includes a voxel editor tool.
[www.avoyd.com](https://www.avoyd.com)
The voxel editor's UI uses Dear ImGui with Font Awesome icon fonts.
