This package provides access in (La)TeX to 20 high quality icons of online academic profiles included in the free "Academicons" font. It requires the fontspec package and either the Xe(La)TeX or the Lua(La)TeX engine to load the included academicons.ttf font. The "Academicons" font was designed by James Walsh and released (see http://jpswalsh.github.io/academicons/) under the SIL Open Font License. This package is inspired by and based on the fontawesome package. academicons.sty provides the generic \aiicon command to access icons, which takes as a mandatory argument the name of the desired icon. It also provides individual direct commands for each specific icon. The full list of icons and their respective names and direct commands can be found in the manual.
