@prasadk24 take a look here:

You should try those things:

1. replace line n. 6 of your font/fontawesome-webfont.svg (https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/font/fontawesome-webfont.svg#L6)

with:

<font id="FontAwesome" horiz-adv-x="1536" >

2. replace line 31 of your css file css / font-awesome.css (https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/css/font-awesome.css#L31)

with:

  src: url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=3.2.1') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=3.2.1') format('woff'), url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=3.2.1') format('truetype'), url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.svg?v=3.2.1#FontAwesome') format('svg');

let us know, if that fixes I will do it in 4.0.0-w.i.p

@davegandy can we include this one?

[prasadk24]

i fallowed same steps as you send and i used the existing css code

src: url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.svg#FontAwesome') format('svg');

then i get the solution.

thanks for ur solution

Added to milestone 4 so Dave will eventually take a look. I can also take care of this one but I don't know how svg is created and the impact this could have in other circumstances

@prasadk24 did you noticed something wrong after doing this ? (e.g.: opera stopped working or something like that)

[lasbrojen]

I tried the following but still not working. I am testing on iPhone 3GS at browserstack.com.

1. Replaced line Conflict with Bootstrap sprites? #6 of fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg

With this:
< font id="FontAwesome" horiz-adv-x="1536" >

2. Replaced line Icon request: icon-bitbucket #31 of css/font-awesome.css

With this:
src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=4.0.1') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.0.1') format('woff'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=4.0.1') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg?v=4.0.1#FontAwesome') format('svg');

If I well remember, fontawesome works fine with iOS 4.2.1 but doesn't work at all on iOS 3

[lasbrojen]

When I test at browserstack it works from iPhone 4 and up

[lasbrojen]

@tagliala do you see anyway to create a fallback? For example by hiding font when not supported?

Kind Regards

@lasbrojen
I'm 98% sure they used to work on iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1

iPhone 3G is indeed really slow with iOS 4.2.1, so I downgraded it to "something different" (based on iOS 3) but...

They works!

I'm pretty confident it uses the .svg version of the file, because safari seems to not support webfonts (as you can see, "Font Awesome" is rendered with "Georgia" rather than "museo-slab")

about fallbacks take a look at the latest comments in #374

edit fixed issue reference

[davegandy]

Font Awesome should work fine in iOS3, now that I added the SVG font back in. I believe Typekit won't send anything but woff or eot, so iOS3 goes to the fallback.

[davegandy]

Let me know if this is still an issue. Kicking out to 4.1.1 if it is.

[davegandy]

This shouldn't be an issue anymore. Closing.

[tagliala]

@davegandy you mean that the browser is not supported?
