Glyphicons will not show up in twitter bootstrap

Question

I can't get glyphicons to show up. Currently, a small square shows up instead of the glyphicon. I've tried moving folders, etc. I didn't do custom bootstrap - I just downloaded the whole thing, so there shouldn't be any errors/anything missing. Here's my code:

    <div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4 text-center">
            <h2>Welcome!</h2>
            <p>
            </p>
        </div> <!-- heading div -->
    </div> <!-- row -->
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2 text-center">
            <div class="interests">
                <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-camera">
                </span>
                <h4>People</h4>
            </div> <!-- interests divs -->
        </div> <!-- column divs -->
    </div> <!-- row -->
</div> <!-- container -->

Am I missing something at the top that needs to be included to get the fonts to show up? In the head, I have a link to the bootstrap.min.css - should I be linking to anything else?

Answer 1

I'm guessing its's not showing for 2 possible reasons: 1. You have not installed the fonts 2. You have not added the font folder hence bootstrap cannot load the glyphicons.

fonts----a folder containing fonts css------a folder containing bootstrap css files. index.html-----this file should link to the href="css/bootstrap.css" which intern calls the fonts files

Answer 2

You may check the following images (2 images).

Or, you can check those fonts.

Hope it helps.
