adding stylesheets globaly to admincp

[Dr.CustUmz]

this is in regards to my addon font awesome (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=311049)

I'm trying to add the stylesheet to the admincp so i can use that font inside (like in my options)

I have tried adding:
@import url('../../font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css');
to the beginning of my control panels css file (controlpanel.css)

and I have tried adding:
<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"../font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css\" />
inside of includes/adminfunctions.php along with a few other files, including admincp/options.php

although i cant seem to get the icons to show up if i use them in my product xml for example
<phrase name="setting_drc_rb_gst_msg_title" date="" username="DrCustUmz" version="1"><![CDATA[<i class="fa-li fa fa-check-square"></i> Welcome Message]]></phrase>

not exactly how i want to use it but something like that.

i want to be able to use the icons in my product files, then say the product has options, in the settings i could use the icons anywhere.

or anywhere else in the admincp for that matter

You have to import both the CSS and the webfonts, which means you can't really get this to other users.

this is just something im doing to mess around with my admincp, and the fact that i cant figure it out only makes me want it that much more lol.

im thinking if i add the code to the php file that includes the tables on the left side of the admincp it would work... but i dug in them files looking for <table for a while and couldn't find what i was looking for.

and when i do add it to adminfunctions.php file and view the source, it does load in the source... just icons wont show up in my options =/

You'd want to add the code fromt font-awesome.min.css into the global.css file for the AdminCP style.

Update the code in the CSS to point to either local or remote font files.

you mean the "controlpanel.css" file inside cpstyle/mystyle/

that was the first thing i did:
@import url('../../font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css');

to the very beginning, it loads if i view the source but im unable to add the font (icons) in my options =/

Why not use a full URL, instead of a local one?
