Font Awesome to PNG
A site I’m working on uses
Font Awesome. Font Awesome is an iconic font
designed for use with
Twitter’s Bootstrap and
currently (at version 4.0.0) includes 370 icons. It is an easy to use and
nice icon font. But I needed PNG
files of the icons so I could use
the same icons in a different system.
Enter
Font Awesome to PNG. It
is a Python script written by Michał Wojciechowski that allows you to do
exactly that: extract the icons from the Font Awesome TTF
file and
save them as PNG
files.
One example of how I used it to get a blue version of the comment icon:
./font-awesome-to-png.py --color "#27a4cd" --size 48 comment
The result is a nice PNG

A big thank you to Michał and everyone that contributed to this code.
