- Font Awesome Manager

188ec7d131763.png


XenForo uses the icoon font which contains a few thousand icons of which XenForo does usually only use a few hundred.

But as all icons are included in the CSS and font files, browsers have to download the full font files and CSS which does cause a significant overhead in most cases.

By subsetting the font to include only those icons that are actually being used, the size of the font files and CSS can often be drastically reduced which does improve page loading time.
Typically, the size of the font files can be reduced by over 80%.

This Add-on does allow to automate the process of creating subsets as much as possible:
  • It can automatically scan the database and PHP files for Font Awesome icon references
  • It can monitor database entities (like Phrases, Templates, BB-Codes, etc.) for changes and adjust the subset accordingly
  • It can perform subsetting using locally installed or
  • It does allow you to easily add icons that are not discovered automatically
  • It does allow you to exclude icons that have been discovered automatically but are not actually being used (for example if the feature that uses them is not being used)
  • It can exclude certain templates or files from being scanned (which can be useful if those reference icons without actually using them)
  • It does offer various strategies to load subsets and CSS
  • It does support AMPXF
If pyftsubset is not available, this Add-on does use to create the subsets, eg. it does make calls to this service during installation and normal operation.
This Add-on wouldn't be as usable as it is (well at least I think it is usable ;)) without your feedback!

Xenforo updated with a new update entry:



Bugs Fixed​

  • Duotone icons were not usable if style option Load subsets only was enabled
    This bugfix significantly increases the subset size (by a factor of two) for the duotone font which could lead to reaching the transfonter.org limit of 5000 characters a lot easier.
    To mitigate this, duotone have been splitted into their own subset chunk, so this change will slow down rebuild time a little bit.
    Future versions will check if there are any styles that...

Xenforo updated with a new update entry:



About one year ago I published the first public release of this Add-on (after about two years fully private development and some months closed beta testing).
Within that one year Font Awesome Manager seemingly has become somewhat popular and is now one of the Top 50 XenForo 2 Add-ons (ranked by the number of downloads).
I am happy that this Add-on seems to be useful for many users :)
So today I am publishing another bugfix / maintenance release to celebrate its first anniversay.
Thanks to...
