Issue

Font awesome icons are not available from version 2024.Q3 and is not possible to Enable it from System Settings. 

Trying to add an html with some font awesome icons will not be rendered, for example: 

<div class="col-2 text-right"><span class="icon-download-alt"></span></div>

Environment

  • Quarterly Releases after 2024.Q3

Resolution

  • Since Font Awesome is no longer included by the product, a custom theme needs to include it explicitly as any other library in your themes. 

Additional Information

  • In previous versions, Font Awesome was included to maintain compatibility. However, starting from this 7.3 breaking change, it was decided not to include it by default in order to optimize build times.
  • As of 2024.Q3, the font-awesome module has been removed. You can find details of this modification in this ticket and in this pull request.
