Similar package with fontawesome

Question

Is there any other package similar to fontawesome? I ask that because i can not use fontawesome as it scales the icons in adobe reader X (I am using friggeri.cls). Same problem in this link: Friggeri resume - Very different rendering in different readers . I coudnt find any solution with this so next choice is to find another pachage.

Answer 1

As I answered for Friggeri resume - Very different rendering in different readers, this problem comes from a bug with the pdf engine of XeLaTex with the OTF font file format when it is at a particular resolution as discussed in http://typophile.com/node/46451.

As a workaround, you can download the latest FontAwesome package at http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/, extract the content and copy the file named "fontawesome-webfont.ttf" in a sub-folder of your LaTex document location. Assuming the .ttf file has been saved in the sub-folder named "fonts" within your LaTex document location, FontAwesome can be loaded and used in LaTex manually like this,:

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\newfontfamily{\FA}[Path = fonts/]{fontawesome-webfont}

\def\faLinux{{\FA\symbol{"F17C}}}
\def\faSE{{\FA\symbol{"F18D}}}
\def\faSkype{{\FA\symbol{"F17E}}}
\def\github{{\FA\symbol{"F092}}}

\begin{document}

\noindent
Linux icon: \faLinux \\
StackExchange icon: \faSE \\
GitHub icon: \github \\
Skype icon: \faSkype

\end{document}

The oversized icon in Adobe Reader should be fixed. You can check out my GitHub where I exactly did this with the Friggeri template: https://github.com/jnsebgosselin/Curriculum-Vitae
