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.
