Can I use font-awesome icons on emails
font-awesome, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3
Solution
You can't use webfonts reliably in html emails. Some clients might respect and render them, but the majority don't.
Problem
I'm developing a Rails app and we need to send emails. I have installed font-awesome icons through a rails gem (https://github.com/bokmann/font-awesome-rails) (i use .scss) It works fine on my webpage views but not on emails. At least gmail doesn't display them. It is normal ? Can I use awesome fonts on email views/layout? If not, where could I find png/svg versions of awesome fonts icons so that the icons I use on my web pages are the same as those I use on my emails (for consistency)?
