Two small things make this work.
- Importing the correct css file (
all.min.css
rather thanfontawesome.min.css
) - Use
family: "FontAwesome"
It seems many, but not all work. Could be related to #2 above. Would be nice to have access to sharp, duotone, etc. They appear to render bold and maybe lack some clarity. I actually think the regular unicode emoji’s might look the best for the way I’m using them. And doesn’t require importing more code.
At any rate- hope it helps someone, and would be interested to see if anyone gets any of the others working (thin, sharp, duotone) and better luck with clarity.
