Importing Font Awesome to Inkscape for Icon Reference
The inkscape font editor doesn't show me any of its glyphs.
What I've done is this: Create a new Inkscape file with just a simple path in it. Save and close Inkscape, open the file with a text editor. Now, open the fontawsome svg file with a text editor. Copy all the <path>
tags, paste them inside the first file, inside the <g>
tag. Search for "glyph", replace with "path". Save the file. Now, open this file Inkscape. All the glyphs have now been converted to path, but they sit on top of each other.
It took me about 5 minutes of moving and resizing (align + distribute helps a lot here) to rearrange all the icons to about a dozen of columns inside a page.
Because there is only a font in it. Open Inkscapes' Font Editor and you will the glyphs.
