Update Font Awesome to version 5?

[balassy]

Are there any plans to update Font Awesome to version 5?
I see that vendor/package.json now references font-awesome: ^4.7.0, though it seems that @fortawesome/fontawesome-free@5.3.1 is the latest version.

I see a PR (https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/1344) from July 2018 that was closed due to inactivity. I understand that it is not an in-place upgrade for backward compatibility.

Thanks.

I imported FA via the custom.css file. Maybe this will work for you?

@import url("https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.3.1/css/all.css");

@oe2atn @Morkie would you mind to share the part of your custom css file where you added the @import … ? don’t know exactly where to add it…
Also should i call the font via the config.js or via custom.css?
Thx for any replies :)

I have added the FA rule above as follows in my custom.css file:

body {
 	@import url("https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.6.3/css/all.css");
 }

Unfortunatly, this does not work, the Fontawesome 5 icons are still not displayed. Can someone help me?
