Web bug report checklist

• I have included a test case because my odds go way up that the team can fix this when I do
• I have searched for existing issues and to the best of my knowledge this is not a duplicate

I'm also having this problem. No icons showing at all for Safari users, on a wide range of versions (13-17 at least). Rollbar is reporting that this is also on iOS. Started on the 18th. I can't see evidence of a release of Font Awesome that might have brought this on - what's going on? [Update] Ah no your website says 11th November, but Github says 18th November, so it's release 6.7.0 for sure.

@johnnorris @8bitmatt can you send an email (ask for Rob) to [email protected] with your Kit tokens? I need to see how those are configured because I have a hunch what's going on here.

Experienced the same problem. Pinned our version to 6.6.0 in the fontawesome console for now. Let me know if there's anything we can share to help debugging @robmadole 👍

Same issue here. But whole page is just blank (probably just implementation), with reported error in console. Pinned to v6.6.0 for, will see if it resolves it.

EDIT: Pinning to 6.6.0 fixed it. So definitely something with v6.7.0 or later.

Update for those interested. It looks like the minifier we are using for some of the JavaScript files went haywire/has a bug. I was able to fix a customer's Kit by switching to the unminified version. I don't have a root cause fix yet but we're working on it.
