It's easy to integrate Font Awesome into Symfony2 (Twitter Bootstrap, or even use it on its own).
Add those lines to composer.json
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "package",
"package": {
"name": "fontawesome/fontawesome",
"version": "3.0.2",
"dist": {
"url": "https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/archive/v3.0.2.zip",
"type": "zip"
}
}
}
],
"require": {
"fontawesome/fontawesome": "3.0.2"
}
}Then php composer.phar update for install assets.
Create symlink to font files located at vendor folder like this:
cd web
ln -s ../vendor/fontawesome/fontawesome/font/ font
And those lines to config.yml

output: css/fontawesome.css
fontawesome_IE7_css:
inputs:
- %kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/fontawesome/fontawesome/less/font-awesome-ie7.less
filters:
- less
- cssrewrite
output: css/fontawesome_IE7.css
Append stylesheets at bottom of your <head> tag.
<head>
...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/fontawesome.css') }}">
<!--[if IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/fontawesome_IE7.css') }}">
<![endif]-->
</head>
Font Awesome is available via Packagist. So
composer require fortawesome/font-awesomeis an easier way to install Font Awesome.
