Seems to work correctly here, but I didn't upload it, only previewed it in a browser. Do you have an older version of SD? I remember there was a change with the glyphs a couple of years ago that led to some wrong ones being shown.

I tried again, this time I also uploaded the test file, but it displays correctly. Maybe someone else has some ideas to help, or if not, you need to contact CC, I guess.
Or, maybe try to download SD again, uninstall the version you have, reboot the machine and install the new one?

Perhaps the following has already been tried, but, if not, I would be inclined to do a full export to a local hard drive, and test that in browsers. If that works OK, it might be worth then uploading all the files and folders from that local export folder to the server using DirectFTP or another FTP program.

If the above does the trick it may be that something untoward was occurring in the upload process - and the main suspect for not having been fully uploaded is the fonts folder.

Just musing.

If the matter shows correctly in "Preview on ..." and local exports, I wonder what would happen if the font folder on the server were to be completely deleted and then the font folder were re-uploaded.

Something else worth checking:
1. Has the location to which you are uploading the page/site, got anything from earlier uploads? If there is a Fonts folder, try to remove it (or rename it) temporarily and upload it anew with your current project.
2. Recently CC has changed the installation location. Earlier SD was installed in the appdata\roaming folder, but now the default location is ProgramFiles. If you have a font folder in the old location, try to remove it, then do a new upload.
3. Does this happen only in Materialize? Have you checked the other frameworks?

Other than this, I don't think I have any more suggestions.

Hi, I've already dealt with this when I was working with a client's website, he needed to add a phone icon vector to the contacts tab. When working with this, I was supposed to set the image to look like an iPhone profile, but for some reason, a Samsung appeared, which was very ironic. We found a solution to this problem quickly. But as for yours, you either need to change the site or rewrite the page code.
