Font Awesome not working, icons showing as squares

  • 0

So I’m trying to prototype a marketing page and I’m using Bootstrap and the new Font Awesome file. The problem is that when I try to use an icon, all that gets rendered on the page is a big square.

Here’s how I include the files in the head:

<head>
        <title>Page Title</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.css">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap-responsive.css">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/font-awesome.css">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.css">
        <!--[if IE 7]>
            <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/font-awesome-ie7.min.css">
        <![endif]-->
</head>

And here’s an example of me trying to use an icon:

<i class="icon-camera-retro"></i>

But all that gets rendered in a big square. Does anyone know what could be going on?
