Good catch. I'll clarify in the docs, but a link back to the project somewhere accessible and on the same domain will suffice. I'm also happy to make exceptions on a case by case basis, also in accordance with the CC BY 3.0.
Is a comment in the stylesheet where the font is defined OK? That's what I usually do when the license requires attribution.
I feel like that would follow the intent behind a BSD license, but not that of a CC-BY.
Actually, what's the advantage of using a commercial, attribution license over a BSD?

Fort Awesome is the organization, Font Awesome is the product.
It was originally hosted at fortaweso.me until Hacker News brought it down.

Yeah that's not normally sufficient for many of the CC licenses (not that I'm an expert), as they often require it to be shown on a visible (i.e. browsable) page, such as a 'credits' page or similar.

#36What application did you use to make these fonts in the first instance? I would quite like to have a go at making my own font icons. Could be quite useful in replacement of spritesheets.
I used Illustrator to make the vectors, copied directly into Fontographer, saved as TTF, then converted to webfont with Fontsquirrel.com.
It'd be really interesting to hear from you in more detail about this process, and any gotchas that you came across during the process. If you ever get time for a follow-up blog post I think a lot of people here would enjoy the read.

#37This is fantastic. I'm going to try to use this in a Phonegap iPhone app right now.
Nice. Definitely let me know how it goes.
Dropped right in. You can see it here: https://skitch.com/cwsaylor/883te/font-awesome-phonegap
To get it looking really good, I'll need to play with the button padding and the font size. This is using mini buttons with large icons.
I also noticed that the thumbs up/down next to each other has the optical illusion of not looking centered.

#38You have licensed this under the CC-BY 3.0 license (which requires attribution 'in the manner specified by the author'), but I can't see anywhere that you've specified how it needs to be attributed if used. Is this something you can elaborate on?

It would be very nice to offer an option to buy away the need for attribution without needing to do so as a one-off request. Glyphicons offers a no brainer price point of $25 to make attribution go away.

For an iPhone app, would a link in the app in an about page work?

#40Looks great,
I've just tried to implement them into a Bootstrap site (without LESS) and I seem to get a double up of icons.
It looks like both the default bootstrap icons and the Font Awesome icons are being shown. The instructions don't mention the need to download a custom version of Bootstrap, am I doing something wrong?
