404 Not found error when trying to download Font Awesome icons

[mountaindude]

icon-font-to-png --download font-awesome

gives me a urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

Some URL that has changed over at FA?

[pawelad]

Yeah, it probably changed with the release of ~~Bootstrap 4~~ Font Awesome 5.

Thanks for reporting, I'll try to take a look and release a fixed version.

I found a temporary solution in case anyone else wants to download FA as images.

1. https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/tree/master/web-fonts-with-css/webfonts
2. Grab the SVG from FA repo and drag them over to http://fontello.com/
3. Highlight and select all the icons and download the webfont
4. Open the downloaded folder and place fontello.css and fontello.ttf in icon-font-to-png/bin (this repo)
5. Run the command python icon-font-to-png --css fontello.css --ttf fontello.ttf --color '#fd9526' --size 48 ALL

Just wondering, has the fix merged yet? I installed with "pip" and still got the error.

Same issue, installed with pip and "command not found" error is still present.

This module lacks of maintenance, so where is the author?

[mountaindude]

Hey guys, this is open source - and as such there typically aren't any solid support commitments. If the module lacks maintenance - feel free to step in and contribute! That's how the really awesome open source projects out there became just that - awesome.

@mountaindude Thing is: A PR fixing this issue has been open for almost 3 years. There seem to be some build errors, but there has been no response from the maintainer. Even awesome open source projects need a maintainer to at least accept PRs.
