+ <section id="support-validators">
+ <h2 class="page-header">Validators</h2>
+ <p>In order to provide the best possible experience to old and buggy browsers, Font Awesome uses <a href="http://browserhacks.com">CSS browser hacks</a> in several places to target special CSS to certain browser versions in order to work around bugs in the browsers themselves. These hacks understandably cause CSS validators to complain that they are invalid. In a couple places, we also use bleeding-edge CSS features that aren't yet fully standardized, but these are used purely for progressive enhancement.</p>
+ <p>These validation warnings don't matter in practice since the non-hacky portion of our CSS does fully validate and the hacky portions don't interfere with the proper functioning of the non-hacky portion, hence why we deliberately ignore these particular warnings.</p>

+ <section id="ie8-font-face">
+ <h2 class="page-header">Internet Explorer 8 and @font-face</h2>
+ <p>
+ IE8 has some issues with <code>@font-face</code> when combined with <code>:before</code>.
+ Font Awesome uses that combination. If a page is cached, and loaded without the mouse over the window
+ (i.e. hit the refresh button or load something in an iframe) then the page gets rendered before the font loads.
+ Hovering over the page (body) will show some of the icons and hovering over the remaining icons will show those as well.
+ <a href="https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/954">See issue #954</a> for details.

+ <p>
+ If you need IE7 support, you have my condolences. Really. Font Awesome {{ site.fontawesome.version }}
+ doesn't support IE7, but an older version does. You'll need to check out the
+ <a href="{{ page.relative_path }}3.2.1/get-started/#need-ie7">3.2.1 instructions for using IE7</a>. Then go complain to
+ whomever decided your project needs IE7 support.
