## FAQ
### Why aren't the icons aligned properly or why are the icons being cut off?
Please use the `FaIcon` widget provided by the library instead of the `Icon`
widget provided by Flutter. The `Icon` widget assumes all icons are square, but
many Font Awesome Icons are not.
### Why aren't the icons showing up on Mobile devices?
If you're not seeing any icons at all, sometimes it means that Flutter has a cached version of the app on device and hasn't pushed the new fonts. I've run into that as well a few times...
Please try:
1. Stopping the app
2. Running `flutter clean` in your app directory
3. Deleting the app from your simulator / emulator / device
4. Rebuild & Deploy the app.
### Why aren't the icons showing up on Web?
Most likely, the fonts were not correctly added to the `FontManifest.json`.
Note: older versions of Flutter did not properly package non-Material fonts
in the `FontManifest.json` during the build step, but that issue has been
resolved and this shouldn't be much of a problem these days.
Please ensure you are using `Flutter 1.14.6 beta` or newer!
### How can I use pro icons?
This library only packages the free Font Awesome icon fonts. If you own the pro
icon fonts and want to use them with Flutter, please follow these instructions.
If you bought font awesome pro icons, you can import them here.
