Font Awesome Symbol You
may have been curious about
an entry in the new Insert
menu named Font Awesome
Symbol. Here’s the scoop.
Designer Pro X10 has a library
of icons that you are going to
love. The library includes 439
icons and includes: Web
Application Icons, Brand Icons,
Text Editor Icons, Spinner Icons,
File Type Icons, Form Control
Icons, Currency Icons, Medical,
Directional Icons, and Video
Player Icons. You can insert
these icons into your text, for
example Follow Us on Twitter
or Buy now for only
200,000. Insert the Text Tool
cursor in the text, and click on
any of the icons. Inserted
symbols remain as text.
You can also insert one or more icons by simply clicking on any of the icons. This adds the
symbol in the center of the screen. When you insert an icon with this method, the icon
becomes a vector shape that you can scale up or down and handle like any other vector
object. NOTE: Because the symbols are small, when you add one by clicking in the menu it
is not always easy to see them. They may even be hidden under the menu.
How you use these icons is limited only to your imagination.
