QFonticon is a simple Qt class that allows you to create QIcon from a font file like font Awesome.
QFontIcon is under MIT license

You just have to copy QFontIcon folder into your project. And add the following line in you project.pro file.

   include("QFontIcon/QFontIcon.pri")

You need a font file to use QFontIcon. You can for exemple download font Awesome and add it in your project as a resource file. Then use the class as follow:
Load first the font file only one time. In the main.cpp in the most of the case.

    QFontIcon::addFont(":/fontawesome.ttf");

Then you can get icon from unicode:

    QAction * action = new QAction(QFontIcon::icon(0xf501));
    // or using typedef FIcon definition 
    QAction * action = new QAction(FIcon(0x501));

QFontIcon::icon(QChar) takes the unicode of the icon's caracter. You can get unicode name from CharacterMap website.

## Exemple The following repository contains an exemple based on font awesome. Open QFontIcon.pro in QtCreator and run it. You should see the following results.
