[TW5] plugins "FontAwesome" und "ThirdFlow" updated

[TheDiveO]

After a long time away from TW5 I've finally managed to update my two plugins so they work with the recent TW5 version 5.1.13:

• the FontAwesome plugin now embedds font version 4.7.0 of the incredibly useful "Font Awesome". Plugin download: http://thediveo.github.io/TW5FontAwesome/ -- if you know FontAwesome then you'll probably know what to do with this plugin.
  
• the ThirdFlow plugin now works with TW 5.1.13 again, after I've added a missing sync adaptor method. Plugin download: http://thediveo.github.io/ThirdFlow/ -- this plugin helps with developing TW5 plugins mainly from inside a TiddlyWiki itself.
• a local nodejs-based TW5 server neatly arranges your plugin tiddlers in folders, so you don't end up with a flat mess of source tiddlers you need to put into your source control system.
• a release script creates either just your plugin as a single .tid file for simple import, or a demo TW5 including your shiny plugin.
• a sidebar view offers a concise view on just your plugins as well as their contents.
  

Admittedly, I can't promise to have much time to work on and maintain these plugins in the future, I've upgraded them, so I can use them for my own work. Of course, pull requests are always appreciated.

Stuff like this deserves UPvotes :-).

Thanks for sharing!  It is probably great stuff but this is how the fontawesome demo looks for me on FF win10

Even the illustrations are cool!

Looks like the embedded font isn't properly used. I tested with FF on Win8.1. Do you have a recent FF version installed?

FF latest version. Same non-result when testing on Chrome latest and Edge (probably latest).  Also tried downloading and looking at local, but same non-result.

Win10 latest and guess the laptop is maybe 1 year old.

Nobody else experiencing problems to see the special fonts on http://thediveo.github.io/TW5FontAwesome/output/fontawesome.html ?

Again, thank you TheDiveO

Failures on FF, Chrome, IE and Opera (all latest versions) running on Win 8.1.

 It's an font embedding problem of my plugin. I'm seeing it also on FF on Android. I'll look into the issue. I suspect the base64 encoding was transferred incorrectly into the CSS tiddler.

The FontAwesome plugin should be fixed now and correctly show the symbol glyphs. GitHub pages are updated with both the stand-alone plugin .tid as well as the demonstration TiddlyWiki.

One caveat I only found out now: if you have installed Font Awesome also locally on your system, then this local font will take precedence (urgh). It seems there is nothing I can do here ... except renaming the embedded font, something I don't want to do.

So, please excuse the hiccup with the first update going south.

That's also fixed now: the embedded font always take precedence. Turns out that the CSS contained an unnecessary local() declaration that triggered a local font to take precedence, when we want that to happen.
