📖 Usage

📂 FontAwesome Path Requirements

The /path/to/fontawesome argument should point to the extracted FontAwesome package directory downloaded from fontawesome.com/download. After downloading the ZIP file, extract it and use the path to the extracted directory.

fontawesome-directory/
├── css/
├── js/
├── svgs/
│   ├── solid/
│   ├── regular/
│   └── brands/
├── webfonts/
└── metadata/
    └── icons.json

Important notes:

• Make sure to use the path to the extracted directory, not the ZIP file
• The tool needs access to svgs/ directory for SVG rendering and webfonts/ for font rendering
• The metadata/icons.json file is required for both rendering methods
• Both Free and Pro versions of FontAwesome are supported

💻 Command Line Interface

Convert a single icon:

fa-convert convert arrow-right /path/to/fontawesome --style solid --size 512 --color "#FF0000"

Convert all icons:

fa-convert convert-all /path/to/fontawesome --style solid --size 512
