do this , reinstall the fonts

cd ~/MagicMirror/fonts
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm install

@sdetweil Thank you. I have done the font reinstall and rebooted. Still the same, unfortunately.

When you said “then try MM again” did you mean reinstall or just see if it works?

[sdetweil]

@RGN01 just see if it works

@sdetweil Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately, no, it did not.

@RGN01 ok, lets open the developers window (ctrl-shift-i on the MM keyboard) , select the elements tab , select the pointer top left and use the mouse to position over the icon in the 1st element
see where its looking

@sdetweil Thank you so much for your assistance - I really do appreciate it!

        {keyword: 'Recycling', symbol: 'fas fa-house', color: 'Red'},
        {keyword: 'Rubbish', symbol: 'fas fa-person', color: 'Gold'}
		],
        calendars: [
          {
            url: 'https://calendar.google.com//Calendar1Redacted/basic.ics',
            symbol: 'fa-house',
          },

It is matching to the ‘Rubbish’ keyword.

@RGN01 said in Calendar and Font Awesome - no icons:

 {keyword: 'Recycling', symbol: 'fas fa-house', color: 'Red'},
    {keyword: 'Rubbish', symbol: 'fas fa-person', color: 'Gold'}

there is the problem…

u need to split the class and the symbol

                symbol: 'person',
                symbolClassName: "fas fa-fw fa-",

the system appends the symbol name TO the classname

here is the default value
defaultSymbolClassName: “fas fa-fw fa-”,

so, if it doesn’t need to be different (paid for icons use a different prefix)
then don’t set it…

and U can set the prefix (classname) once per calendar in the list of calendars
symbolClassName: “fas fa-fw fa-”,

NOT on every symbol entry

@sdetweil Thank you. You have helped a lot but I’m still battling. I’ve had a long day and am struggling to concentrate so will resume this tomorrow.

@RGN01

this

symbol: 'fas fa-house'

should be this

symbol: 'house'

@sdetweil Thanks again. I went back to basics and removed all ‘my’ entries from config.js and replaced them with the config from the reference page, slightly edited. This is what I now have:

    {
    module: "calendar",
    position: "bottom_left", 
    config: {
	   coloredText: false,
	   coloredBorder: false,
	   coloredSymbol: false,
	   coloredBackground: false,
	   calendars: [
		   {
			  url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/Calendar1Redacted/basic.ics',
			  symbol: 'calendar',
 	       },
	],
	}
	},

Which delivers:

Looking at the developers window, I see:
