What is Academicons?

Academicons is a specialist icon font for academics. It contains icons for websites and organisations related to academia that are often missing from mainstream font packages. It can be used by itself, but its primary purpose is to be used as a supplementary package alongside a larger icon set.

How do I use it?

Alongside Font Awesome

Academicons was originally built as a supplement to Font Awesome, so the two fonts intentionally share the same metrics.

There are two ways to install Academicons on your site. The most reliable way is to place the fonts and css folders on your server and link to the academicons.css stylesheet by adding the following to the page header:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/folder/css/academicons.min.css"/>

Alternatively, use the RawGit service to call the most recent version of Academicons from the StackPath content distribution network using:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.rawgit.com/jpswalsh/academicons/master/css/academicons.min.css">

Call the icons in the same way as you would using Font Awesome, but replacing fa with ai. For example:

<i class="ai ai-google-scholar-square ai-3x"></i>

Note: Each icon also has an associated -square icon to enable better integration with the square Font Awesome icons.

With font building apps

The academicons.svg font file can be readily imported into most font building apps, allowing you to merge only the icons that you want into your personalised icon set.

Desktop publishing

The font files can be installed locally on your system, allowing access to the icons through most publishing software. You can also access the full set of icons in LaTeX using the Academicons package.
