Icons inside buttons missing if no Internet (LAN is working between client and server). Is this normal?

Is there any way to solve it?

web2py 2.18.3
Python 3.7.1 x86
Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1+all updates

Thanks,

Is this the font awesome you refer (I'm assuming it is the Free for Web white button)?

https://fontawesome.com/download

I changed the link in layouts.html from

to

First I copied just the fontawesome.min.css to the static/css folder, but that didn't work.

The I copied everything in the fontawesome-free-5.7.2-web.zip to the static folder, but that also didn't work.

For each try I restarted web2py.

Am I missing any required step?

Thanks,

JM

I found an older version of fontawesome (font-awesome-4.7.0.zip) on the site and tried that and it worked.

Thanks,

Can you consider adding this as a recipe in Complete Reference Manual, so it would help others?

The steps were (for web2py 2.18.3):

1. Download font awesome older version from https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/

2. Copy font-awesome-4.7.0.zip/font-awesome-4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css to <app>/static/css

3. Copy font-awesome-4.7.0.zip/font-awesome-4.7.0/fonts to <app>/static

4. Update <app>/views/layout.html by changing this line

to this

Thanks,

JM
