How to insert font awesome in a liferay's custom theme?

Question

How can I insert and use font awesome 4 in a Liferay's 7.2 custom theme?

I saw in Liferay's portal dev that by selecting: Control Panel → Configuration → System Settings → Third Party, I could find a Font Awesome option, but that option is not in my panel.

Also in this tutorial it is explained how to use font awesome 3, but nothing about version 4.

Answer 1

By default, Liferay use Font Awesome v3.2.1 . I don't know if there is a way to change it.

If you want to use another version, then I suggest to add it in package.json file of your theme . It'll be the fastest and efficient way to add/customize the dependencies you want.

If you are okay with this solution, just don't forget to disable Font Awesome v3.2.1 to improve performance of your portal.
