I'm using wheezy and iceweasel 10.0.12
Some icons in websites viewed with iceweasel get replaced by a square with some inscription like this one: .
Other browsers like chromium or epiphany are ok. I've seen this happen on omgubuntu.co.uk (menu at the top) and photobucket.com. On photobucket the site becomes unusable because I cannot tell what a button does.
This does not seem to be a text encoding problem since these are icons and not characters. On the source code it appears as an empty tag: <i class="icon-angle-down"></i> and the CSS shows:
.icon-angle-down:before {
content: "\f107";
}
Is there a problem in iceweasel or did I do something wrong?
Can someone shed me some light please

Re: Iceweasel does not display some website icons but inst
The pages are poorly done, the same box shows up here in Firefox, Qupzilla, and Chrome.
or it is a strange font.
Although I would update Iceweasel to the current ESR,
17.0.3esr-1.
Add:
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-esr
apt-get update
apt-get -t experimental install iceweasel

Hey,
Thanks for the reply, I've just updated to Iw17 as suggested but the problem remains. Even if the site is poorly done, shouldn't this be marked as a bug?

No, these are indeed text elements, not graphics.Willynux wrote:This does not seem to be a text encoding problem since these are icons and not characters.

Not a browser bug, certainly. The numbnuts over at omgubuntu are trying to combine a css hack with a specific font to achieve a particular visual effect (specifically, something that looks like a pull-down). They should be boiled in oil. But it's not the browser fault, nor is it anything you did.Willynux wrote:Even if the site is poorly done, shouldn't this be marked as a bug?
Re: Iceweasel does not display some website icons but inst
Alrite, thank you for the reply, it was definitively helpful.
I've downloaded the font you mentioned (http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/) and placed in the folder /usr/share/fonts/ then restartet IceWeasel. Now I can see these iconic css hacks and use my favourite browser to navigate through omgubuntu and photobucket.
I don't understand how chromium and epiphany were able to display the icons even before I manually installed the font but anyway...
Thank you guys

Re: Iceweasel does not display some website icons but inst
This is still a glitch in Iceweasel 37.0.2 on Debian 8 (Jessie). However, craigevil's fix works. Thank you.
A little additional, more detailed guidance would have you download the fonts file mentioned above in ZIP format, extract the ZIP file creating a new folder (e.g.--named folder "a") of several directories of fonts, and just move folder "a" that was created by the extraction to the /usr/share/fonts directory. It will look a little out of place with the versioning as part of the folder name, but that's the way it goes in /usr/share/fonts.

Here's another reason why icons might not render properly thanks to FontAwesome. There is a fix for it too.
May the FORK be with you!
