I would like to know if he saves the css3 and html icons in the same icon directory. Thanks in advance.

I am confuse as to what happens with the css3 and html icons. I am following every step but only a small tiny box displays after rendering the browser, the icon does not display.

Hi Ousmane

You don't actually download the icon images separately as it seems to generate a custom font file containing the all of the icons that you selected.

If you just think of a traditional font file which is essentially a collection of styled images (or glyphs) that relate to the letters and symbols on your keyboard.

It's essentially the same but you have to specify the unique unicode string to select the icon as they don't relate to a particular letter or symbol as a font would normally.

Hope it helps!
