Looking for a font that matches fontawesome's hashtag

Post by arobase »

I'm not very familiar with font, so parsing the catalogue is no substitute for trying, which would be tedious for every font. The first example would be fine if `foo`'s was more "awesome". In the second example, the hashtag is too meek. Any suggestion?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\begin{document}

\faHashtag {\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont\bfseries \em foo}

 {\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont\bfseries \em \# foo}

\end{document}

With a bit of trial and error I much prefer the second approach, as awesome is "rigid" (always looks bold whether `bfseries` used or not). So, this question is void. The only thing to do is to bind the hashtag with the remainder like this: `\#foo`.
