Hi guys, I created a blank project with `ionic start example --v2` and after it I just `ionic serve`. It bugged out the first time, but the second it ran ok - except when looking at the browser, it tries to download some files it doesnt exist in the project itself: [https://puu.sh/rsKpN/e26a1a78c8.png](https://puu.sh/rsKpN/e26a1a78c8.png) I know those files are from ionicons and thats why they aren’t showing… any news on this? I’m working in Windows 10, nodejs prompt 6.7 npm 3.10.3, just installed ionic and cordova (so I believe they are the latest, 2.1.0 and 6.3.1 respectivelly). Thanks in advance ---

Hi, I got the same problem on Win10 since I upgraded to 2.0.0-rc.0. ``` Your system information: Cordova CLI: 6.3.1 Gulp version: CLI version 3.9.1 Gulp local: Ionic Framework Version: 2.0.0-rc.0 Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.0 Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.0-beta.1 OS: Node Version: v4.5.0 ``` Thanks for all the hard work for the 2.0 release. Best regards! ---

What can fix some icons is to manually download the fonts and putting them in `scr/fonts` folder. But even then, it tries to get some glyphs that aren’t there yet: [https://puu.sh/rsM3L/7172b5c0aa.png](https://puu.sh/rsM3L/7172b5c0aa.png) and the glyphs it loads aren’t really the correct ones [https://puu.sh/rsM4l/17eaa9181b.png](https://puu.sh/rsM4l/17eaa9181b.png) ---

So, got it working. I just checked all my outdated global npm packages via `npm outdated -g` and upgraded them using `npm install -g PACKAGE`. I also upgraded npm from 3.10.7 to 3.10.8 and NodeJS from 4.5.0 to 4.6.0. Hope it helps somebody. 🙂 Best regards! ---

fonts should be in `src/assets/fonts` under RC.0 ---

@mvrc Yes but they aren’t there. There is no `fonts` folder anywhere. I see that inside node\_modules, ionicons is there but I have no clue how to manually import it into the project (and sass files like `$ionicons-font-path: "../assets/fonts"; @import "ionicons";`). Any inputs @ this? @axelino This didn’t help me. I have no outdated package. Is this because I’m in Windows? I’m going to test it in OS X. ---

Oh, okay, sorry. Did you uninstall `ionic@beta` to reinstall just `ionic` for the latest ionic-CLI ? The fonts are automatically loaded from **ionic-angular**. ---

@mvrc I didn’t have `ionic@beta`, in fact I just installed node in this machine so everything is new. ---

@rafabsides Sorry to hear that. I see you’re using NodeJS 6.7. I had problems with this in earlier Ionic 2 beta versions. I switched to 4.X LTS release and it was working fine. Maybe you give it a try. ---

@axelino I’m trying in OS X first but I’ll also try that. I’ll post back as soon as I get the results. Thank you 🙂 EDIT: I can confirm that in OS X they all work fine. The only difference from Windows is node version so I’ll try that one and see how it goes. ```auto Cordova CLI: 6.3.1 Gulp version: CLI version 1.2.2 Gulp local: Ionic Framework Version: 2.0.0-rc.0 Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.0 Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.0-beta.1 ios-deploy version: 1.8.6 ios-sim version: 5.0.8 OS: Mac OS X El Capitan Node Version: v6.4.0 Xcode version: Xcode 7.3.1 Build version 7D1014 ``` Thanks for all the help so far! ---

EDIT #3: Well it still gives errors now and then and I should warn you that it’s currently impossible to be stable at Windows 10 right now. I changed the platform so I dont have to handle with it anymore. ---
