How to put a font awesome icon into a block's name

[George]

In a block's label text, msg0, how do I put a fontawesome icon there?

The font the style uses for blocks is "Monaco", "Menlo", "Ubuntu Mono", "Consolas", "source-code-pro", monospace

Which doesn't render fontawesome icons

Hello,

I have two ideas that might work for you, but they're just based on modifying blockly's css. From what you're saying it sounds like that's what you need? But I don't know how font awesome works, so these suggestions may not be helpful :/

1) Override the font of the .blocklyText css class. This is the class used by all text on the workspace, including blocks, the toolbox, etc.

2) Use a label field instead of the msg0 property, and pass a custom css class to it. If the class supports fontawesome icons, then the label should as well (I think).

```

{
  "type": "example_label",
  "message0": "%1 %2 %3",
  "args0": [
    {
      "type": "field_label",
      "text": "a label",

      "class": "awesome-font-class"
    },
    {
      "type": "input_dummy"
    },
    "and another label"
  ]
}

```

I hope those suggestions give you some place to start!

Best,

Beka
