Topic: Datatable sort icons not showing (Font Awesome 5 JS)
Hello,
I already did some Datatables previously with no problem but I have a problem with the new MDB version: the sort icons don't display, I have a little square instead as you can see in the screenshot. I use Font Awesome 5 JS version.
I tried to do a snippet but the datatables function seems desactived.
The screenshot: https://ibb.co/HY3sD9G

Maybe this person has the same problem? https://mdbootstrap.com/support/angular/font-awesome-icon-problem-in-latest-update/

Hi, i've solved this problem by replacing
font-family:"Font Awesome\ 5 Free", sans-serif;
with
font-family:"Font Awesome 5 Pro";
in the file datatables.min.css because i'm using the PRO version of fontawesome in my project. Now, the ordering icons are displayed properely.
