icon text display issue

[Kaiden42]

Are you importing your own icon font? I recently had the same issue. My problem was that I have imported an other font under the same name as the icon font of iced_aw. The icons of iced_aw are named "Icons". If you import an other font under the same name they "collide" with each other.

pub const ICON_FONT: Font = Font::External {
    name: "Icons", // Use a different name here
    bytes: include_bytes!("../font/icons.ttf"),
};

Thank you very much, it solved my problem!

I've reopened this issue as a reminder to rename the icon font of iced_aw to something more unique in the future. A more unique name would save a headache for the next person struggling with this issue.

Hi. I've got the same issue. I'm using tabbar (which uses icons) and date_picker. I'm not importing my own icons, but the date_picker has the buttons without icons as above. If I wanted to use the solution above, where do I make changes?

[Kaiden42]

If you are not importing your own icons and the icons are visible on the tabbar but not on the date_picker, this seems like a different kind of bug as there is no second icon font messing around with the one of iced_aw itself 🤔

Thanks for leaving that open - had the same issue :).
My font was called "ICONS" - was 1:1 the same than in the TODOS example. I wanted to switch to SVG icons anwyays.

this is no longer relevant on how iced uses fonts.
