Font Awesome Graphic Shapes

There is a popular font called ‘Font Awesome’ that contains over 400 high quality symbols, icons or generally useful graphic designs.  This was created as a font as a way of using such symbols in web pages. Like all fonts, the shapes are resolution-independent vectors. So we have included the font, and an easy way to view all the symbols, as a way to incorporate the symbols either as a font in text or as raw vector graphic. Select the menu Insert > Font Awesome Symbol... to view the picker. Scroll down to view all the symbols.  Just tap a symbol to insert it into the current document. If you have the text caret in some text (in the Text Tool) and you insert a symbol, it will insert this as a font character, at the same size as the surrounding text. If you select the Insert option in any other tool, it will insert a vector graphic version of the symbol in the center of the page view. The benefit of being vector is that the graphic can be scaled by any degree and remain pin sharp, and you can apply any normal graphic effect such as graduated color fills, shadows etc,. So that’s a thumbs up...
