Hugo-coder: Switch to Fork Awesome, or make the font location customizable

Created on 8 Jul 2020  路  6Comments  路  Source: luizdepra/hugo-coder

While free to use, Font Awesome is not free software. Fork Awesome (https://forkaweso.me/) can mostly replace it, and it's MIT licensed like hugo-coder.

Bonus point: it has a Debian icon, which Fork Awesome lacks :)

If you are not willing to switch, then it would be nice to have the possibility to override the font css location set in baseof.html with a custom location from the config.toml file.

On my fork I've removed the hardcoded Font Awesome and am serving them from assets, was thinking of implementing this but did not know about Fork Awesome.

Give me a weekend and I might be able to open a PR.

No objection. Would be nice if you create a PR to change it.

I second the option to locally host my fonts (no tracking, no external dependencies).

We have a branch with locally hosted fonts, scripts, etc. It can be used as a base for these changes, but it is really outdated.

Doing to put this into v2 roadmap.

Let's continue the discussion at #412.
