Installation
Balsamiq 2.x.x

- Download the pack and unzip the files.
- Move the icons from the unzipped
iconsfolder to your asset folder (created in step 1). - After you restart Balsamiq, the icons will be available under 'Account Assets' when you want to select an icon in the Icon Library. They are also searchable through their official Font Awesome names.
Balsamiq 3.x.x
The release of Balsamiq 3 comes with built-in support for Font Awesome, so you no longer need to install the icons seperately. The people at Balsamiq wrote a nice blog post about why they switched if you want to know more. By integrating into Balsamiq directly this project has become obsolete. Thanks for all the support :raised_hands:.
Extracting SVG from font files
We have added bin/gen-fa-4.4-svg.pl which was used to convert
font glyphs to svg files which were then converted to png images.
Thanks
Special thanks to https://github.com/odyniec/font-awesome-to-png for creating a script that makes it easy to render images from the Font Awesome font.
