Hi There,

Font Awesome (the icon font) works in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign but not XD - is there a trick to getting it to work with XD?

Also, does XD have a Glyphs panel? If not, a Glyphs panel is kind of mandatory, may I please request one?

Cheers

Ben

The font seems to be working just fine for me.

I followed the instructions here - Font Awesome: How to use Font Awesome icons in Photoshop or Illustrator – Iftakhar's Web Design/Development Blog e.g. Selectively grabbed the icons I wanted from - Font Awesome Cheatsheet .

There is no glyphs panel just yet. Can you per chance add a vote to this feature request? Glyphs Palette – Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs

Hey! 6 year in the future... not yet, nothing.

Yet another nightmare is adding glyphs... not supported visualization on XD, so I've to copy-paste blindingly from Illustrator or preconvert them to curves.

Definitivelly, an absolutelly BETA version after six years

Be sure to select regular or solid next to your font size in XD.

make sure there is no kerning. i.e. the AV symbol must be 0

OMG I wish I would have found this solution sooner. I've been uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting my computer and searching for a solution for longer than I'd like to admit! THANKYOU!
