Installing newest version of Font Awesome

[jumler1]

Hello, I have Joomla 3.10.12 and I would like to install newest Font Awesome, I need new icons. I also use Gantry 5.

How to do that, can anyone help me?

This is not really a Joomla question as such; you're also asking about a Joomla version that reached EOL in August 2023, so there will be no further support or development for J3.10 (for new features).

There is extended support (paid) provided by third parties (not the Joomla dev team) but the intent of that is to continue updating the CMS (security and stability) and assisting with J4 migrations until Feb 2025.

The best advice I can offer is to read the instructions on FontAwesome website:

• FA 5 https://fontawesome.com/v5/docs/web/setup/get-started
• FA 6 https://fontawesome.com/v6/docs/web/setup/get-started.

Note that Joomla 4 comes with FA v5 not v6. Perhaps Joomla 5 will come with FA 6 (J5 due for stable release in October 2023).

So maybe consider migrating to J4 (Gantry 5 is compatible with J4) for now is the answer, and then eventually to Joomla 5.

In the meantime I found this (for Joomla 4): https://extensions.joomla.org/extension ... me-button/.

I can't find anything similar for J3.10.

Ok, thanks for the effort! So, in your opinion, I can't update on Font Awesome 6 in Joomla 3.10.12 and Gantry 5.

Any other help?
