This members-only tutorial provides the steps to generate a custom font from selected Font Awesome icons and loading it using a functionality plugin for use as social sharing buttons for each post of a Repeater or Easy Posts in Oxygen.
Clicking on a sharing icon button for any post will send that post's permalink to the corresponding social sharing site in a new tab.
Go to IcoMoon App.
Search for facebook and select the icon you wish to use. In this example, we shall pick the one from Font Awesome pack.
Click on + inside the search box to import the selected icon.
Click on the icon in the shortlisted subset a couple of times.

Thanks Sridhar, that’s really helpful! How do we make the new social sharing page that opens small rather than full size?
