Font Awesome Adjusted
Well, that is all. An adjusted version of Font Awesome.
Warning
Hell knows what happened to the icons. Suddenly all glyphs’ rounding changed transforming the circles into octagons. I corrected them using version 3.0.2 icons and now
some have blurry edges. No idea whether I will ever fix them or not.
I found my site abit naked, so I decided to add some icons. As I used no images for decorations I decided to use an icon font instead of images. I wished to find a font with both navigational and file type icons. No such font exists, so I choose Font Awesome and adjusted it to my needs :
- Copied glyphs resembling regular characters over their regular correspondent to ensure fallback in case the icon font not gets loaded.
- Copied glyphs I needed in smaller groups by categories in additional location in the private area.
- Adjusted some glyphs I found to look too blurry on my dark pages.
- Drawn some file type icons I needed based on the file icon.
After all, I could draw all glyphs of my own icon font, but I can not start it from zero anyway : I am unable to set up all those properties of the font which contribute to their pleasant appearance regardless of scaling.

Font Awesome Adjusted contains the entire original Font Awesome unaltered. All glyphs I adjusted were copied to a different character.
I hope the chosen name makes it clear that the essential part of the work was made by the original font’s author.
