Hi,
DS uses Font Awesome v4.7; is it possible to use the Font Awesome pro version instead of v4.7? and if so how?
Cheers,
WT

HI,
As far as I can see you have to pay to get Pro (the full sets of icons),
The site concentrates on using FAS in a website (do you want to use it in a HTML project?) or on Desktop.
Not at all clear how you'd use it on Android (with a key to prove you'd paid?).
Not sure if they work in Android but I found
which has links to download Pro and Free, Web and Desktop, versions 6 and 5.
(download, add the ttf to your project/app as an asset, then use SetFontFile).
Regards, ah

Versions of FontAwesome later than 4.7 are by no means a drop-in replacement for 4.7
I gave up trying to use even v5 in my personal native apps
Although it was useable in html apps and in a WebView I found for my personal purposes images were easier
I haven't looked at v6 but I get the feeling it has moved a lot further away from the original concept
I would be delighted if anyone can show a practical way to use it though
