    Hi–trying to add Quora and Mail icons (that look like they are part of the Fontello font pack) to my social media buttons I have in my sidebar. I’ve use the following codes (which work fine for Facebook, linkedin, etc. but don’t work with mail or Quora:

    [social_icon type="quora" same_tab="no" url="https://www.quora.com/profile/Brian-Fitzgerald-23"]
    [social_icon type="mail" same_tab="no" url="mailto:brian@fitzgeraldphoto.com"]

    Do I need to add some code to my Custom CSS area as well to make these icons appear and work?

    Thank you….loving the theme so far.

    You can add your custom social icons image as a custom background.

    .social li .quora { background-image: url("image-url-here.png"); }
    .social li .mail { background-image: url("image-url-here.png"); }

    Also, you can follow these steps to extend current fontello icon pack with other fontello icons.

    – import config.json in css/fonts/fontello at fontello.com.
    – select more icons and download the package, and replace the folder css/fonts/fontello

    as shown at the link below;
