QFontIcon

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

Usage

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.
