Font Awesome

[Charles E Buchwald]

Hi again....

So I checked the FontAwesome download folder again. There are 2 fonts there... "FontAwesome.ttf" and "fontawesome-webfont.ttf".
I had loaded and activated the former. Now that I have deleted it from my system and loaded the latter, I can see what you are seeing in PopChar.
Confusing!
Thanks for your help, Guglielmo.
