XBIconFont is just another icon font containing a (really) small subset of useful glyphs.

Usage

First, make sure you have xbiconfont.ttf bundled in your project and that UIAppFonts key in the project's plist file contains a String item named xbiconfont.ttf Then add the NSString+XBIconFont category to the project.

UILabel *label = [...]
label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:kXBIconFontFamilyName size:20];

You can now use enums for all the different glyphs

label.text = [NSString stringForIconName:XBIFStar];

or

label.text = [NSString fontAwesomeIconStringForIconIdentifier:@"xbif-star"];

Installation

XBIconFontImageView

XBIconFontImageView contains a new property called defaultView that is shown when the image is set to nil. It is possible to use one the font-awesome icon as a default placeholder for an image view.

XBIconFontImageView *imageView = [[XBIconFontImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.f, 0.f, 100.f, 100.f)];
imageView.image = nil;
[imageView setDefaultIconIdentifier:@"xbif-star"];
