MkDocs PDF Export Plugin and Font Awesome Issue

[rei-vilo]

I'm using MkDocs with the fontawesome_markdown markdown extension and the pdf-export plug-in.

+ A :fa-link: mentions an internal link while a :fa-external-link: mentions an external link to the web.

The HTML pages render the characters correctly.

However, the generated PDFs show the codes instead of the characters.

How to fix this? Thank you!

Any news on this yet?

mkdocs-material offers support for fontawesome icons, have you tried that?

Sure, I'm already using the fontawesome icons.

• mkdocs.yml

markdown_extensions:
    - pymdownx.emoji:
        emoji_index: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.twemoji
        emoji_generator: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.to_svg

This is a test.
