XF 2.1 Solution to FontAwesome Icons not rendering

[Anomandaris]

Lots of addons have broken FontAwesome icons due to the Font Awesome upgrade in XF2.1.

The solution is rather easy but confusing if you're a noob. Please make a backup before making any changes.

Search templates for "FontAwesome"

Replace:

font-family: "FontAwesome";

With:

font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Pro';

I think this should be added to FAQ or something of that nature. Hope it helps someone.

Is there by any chance a blanket way to get rid of all the font awesome icons? I don't want to replace them with different icons, I just want them gone. Thanks for any advice!

They all showed up blank for me, I tried copying and pasting that into the extra less template and I ended up getting an error.
