Error downloading font awesome using command example

[nasmal]

Running the first example I get the error urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found.

On OSX 10.15.2 and Python 3.5.6:

(env) nathan@Nathans-MBP fontawesometopng % icon-font-to-png --download font-awesome
Traceback (most recent call last):

I think this is broken since the release of FA6. Here is a simple workaround to download the older v4 files locally into your working directory and then the example commands will work:

# download v4 ttf
curl -o fontawesome-webfont.ttf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/fa-4/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf

# download v4 css
curl -o font-awesome.css https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/fa-4/css/font-awesome.css

# test examples
icon-font-to-png --css font-awesome.css --ttf fontawesome-webfont.ttf --size 64 play stop

# should work and output
file ./exported/play.png ./exported/stop.png
./exported/play.png: PNG image data, 64 x 64, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
./exported/stop.png: PNG image data, 64 x 64, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced

Newer URLs:

# download v4 ttf curl -Lo fontawesome-webfont.ttf https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/raw/4.x/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf

# download v4 css curl -o font-awesome.css https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/4.x/css/font-awesome.css

Downloading them can also be done with npm:

# use a local node_modules directory
npm init -y

#  @fortawesome/fontawesome-free is the newest version, but
# this installs the 4.X version
npm install font-awesome

# use it
icon-font-to-png --css node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css  --ttf node_modules/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf --list
