glyphicons not included in Zip file download

The 'fonts' folder in the download section of this video does not have content necessary for this video. Specifically, if the video is followed exactly as the video indicates using only the folders downloaded in the project folder download, the arrow is not able to load. However, if one is to use a previously downloaded directory for this video (one downloaded from previous videos for instance) to replace the bootstrap files, the arrow will load.

Gylphicons are icon fonts loaded via bootstrap classes not actual a font file you downloaded.

Here's an example using codepen

If you are still having trouble put your code in a codepen and link it back here and we'll take a look.

Understood. I fixed my code. I'm just pointing out a problem with the download files. The icon fonts aren't capable of being used (syntax is off in the "glyphicons-halflings-ttf" file). No need to provide me a solution. I stole the file from a different video previously in the lesson.

Sorry I can't be more technical with the problem statement.

Presumably they aren't there because you aren't supposed to be using the files you are supposed to be using a class name for your icon needs.

The required files are in the 'final' folder for that session. Herb is correct in that the start folder is incomplete.

I had the same problem as Herb, and his solution was the only thing that worked.

My code was identical to the video and the final file, but instead of a right arrow there was a small hollow box. Copy, pasting the "final/fonts" folder into "start/fonts" was the only thing that resolved the issue.
