Support development of IconFontCppHeaders through GitHub Sponsors or Patreon

https://github.com/juliettef/IconFontCppHeaders

C, C++ 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, max and max 16 bit code points for font loading purposes. The min excludes the ASCII characters code points. The max 16 bit is for use with libraries that only support 16 bit code points, for example Dear ImGui.

In addition the python script can be used to convert ttf font files to C and C++ headers. Each ttf icon font file is converted to a C and C++ header file containing a single array of bytes. To enable conversion, run the GenerateIconFontCppHeaders.py script with 'ttf2headerC = True'.

Font Awesome 5 and 6 split 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.

Download the Font Awesome Pro Web package from fontawesome.com. 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.

Icon files:

• ..\fontawesome-pro-n.n.n-web\metadata\icons.yml
• ..\fontawesome-pro-n.n.n-web\webfonts\fa-brands-400.ttf
• ..\fontawesome-pro-n.n.n-web\webfonts\fa-light-300.ttf
• ..\fontawesome-pro-n.n.n-web\webfonts\fa-regular-400.ttf
• ..\fontawesome-pro-n.n.n-web\webfonts\fa-solid-900.ttf

Using Dear ImGui as an example UI library:

#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_16_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.

Voxel editor and 6 degree of freedom FPS game with editable environments. The voxel editor's UI uses Dear ImGui with Font Awesome icon fonts.
