Font-awesome: Icon Request: fa-info-circle-italic

[jpt]

info-circle gets a bit clunky as it scales up. I've seen the italicized "i" as a convention more often lately and think it looks a lot nicer at a large size. Here's how Entypo does it,

Any update on this 'fa-info-circle-italic'.

Yeh the italic lowercase i really is the standard now. The current fa-info lowercase i is really a bit too "different".

It's too bad because I'm a type designer and would be happy to create this icon but unfortunately contributing icons to the project is explicity forbidden. With a policy like that, I would guess this issue stays open another four years.

Hi,

if you have special needs for this icon, please consider a custom version of font awesome: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/wiki/Customize-Font-Awesome (wiki will be updated as soon as SVG customization will be available)

FWIW, this icon is also available as emoji ℹ️ and none of the implementations uses an italic i: https://emojipedia.org/information-source/

Last but not least, this can be done with the css stacking feature or svg transformations: https://jsfiddle.net/tagliala/qu83xrwp/16/

Hope it helps

Hi @tagliala thanks for all that info! I love that layering solution. That's the one I'm going to use. Cheers....
