Polymer 1.x: Using Font Awesome with paper-icon-button - polymer

Is there a way to use an icon from the Font Awesome library as the icon inside a paper-icon-button?
Here is my jsBin.

Per #Stefanvott on the Polymer Slack site:
There are at least two ways:
Use the following custom element https://customelements.io/philya/font-awesome-polymer-icons/ (Didn't work for me.)
Do this <paper-icon-button src="" class="fa fa-github-alt fa-lg"></paper-icon-button> per this jsBin. See below code.
Short version http://jsbin.com/hubonatopa/1/edit?html,output
paper-icon-button.fa {
padding: .5em;
height: 2em;
width: 2em;
}
<paper-icon-button class="fa fa-github-alt fa-lg"></paper-icon-button>

You can use this project! It's cool, bower package to use in polymer 1-2. Now it's last version of FA: 4.7. Here: https://github.com/vangware/fontawesome-iconset


in my case, on polymer v1.8 i had to create a custom style element as described in this link , paste font-awesome css there and then add it to my element using
<template>
<style include="shared-styles">
</style>
<paper-button> <i class="fa fa-facebook fa-lg"></i></paper-button>
..............
</template>

Polymer 2.x code works in jsbin but not in codepen, plunker or jsfiddle

The below code works properly in this jsbin but it does not work in either this codepen, this plunker or this jsfiddle.
Why not? How can I get it to work in the three locations where it does not?

Since every other site other than jsbin is using the secure version of HTTP i.e. HTTPS, the request to get the contents from the source http://polygit.org/polymer+:master/components/ is blocked. So, use secure connection and it will work in every other site.
You can check the console for more information.

Change <base> tag's href attribute from http://polygit.org/... to //polygit.org/.... This normalizes the import to work in both http and https environments.
Here are working examples in all repositories: JsBin, Codepen, Plunker and JsFiddle.

<iron-label> not forwarding taps to <paper-radio-button>

<div class="center horizontal layout">
<iron-label>
paper radio button
<paper-radio-button noink iron-label-target>Radio</paper-radio-button>
</iron-label>
</div>
Clicking on text paper radio button not forwarding clicks to the radio button but the documentation says: All taps on the iron-label will be forwarded to the "target" element.

It's working in this JS Bin for me.

Polymer 1.x: Help getting this JSBin to render <paper-header-panel> and <paper-toolbar>

http://jsbin.com/mefonoqanu/1/edit?html,output
This JSBin doesn't render its contents. It does not display:
its header section — the <paper-toolbar> text (i.e., "Header") or
its content panel section — the <div> element (i.e., "Content goes here...").
What am I doing wrong? Please provide a working JSBin example.
Note: Per this link, <paper-header-panel> requires host to have a height.

The changes:
webcomponents from rawgit instead of bower_components
<span class="title"> to make header visible

Here is the minimum markup necessary to answer the question:
http://jsbin.com/jocinasovo/edit?html,output
Changes
Added style using :host
Only need height not width
No need to switch from bower_components (per this link) to rawgit CDN
No need for .flex class on <paper-header-panel>
Note: Per this link, <paper-header-panel> requires host to have a height.

Summary from comments:
Per #kevinashcraft:
You have to import paper-icon-button, iron-icons, and paper-tooltip. Here's a working JSBin.

Browser compatibility of Polymer

I am starting to use Polymer 1.0: the only thing I tried is a simple template like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<script src="bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents.min.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.min.js"></script>
<link rel="import" href="bower_components/polymer/polymer.html"></link>
<link rel="import" href="bower_components/iron-icons/iron-icons.html">
<title>Polymer test1</title>
</head>
<body unresolved>
<dom-module id="pres-test">
<template>
<content></content>
<p>This is my name:<h3>{{name}}</h3></p>
<iron-icon icon="star" hidden="{{!star}}"></iron-icon>
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x100"></img>
</template>
</dom-module>
<script>
Polymer({
is:'pres-test',
properties:{
name:String,
star:Boolean
}
});
</script>
<pres-test name="withStar" star>
<h1>Example1:</h1>
<img src="http://placekitten.com/g/200/180" alt="image"></img>
</pres-test>
<pres-test name="withoutStar">
<h2>Example:</h2>
<img src="http://placesheen.com/100/100"></img>
<p>No star icon :()</p>
</pres-test>
</body>
</html>
This code works fine on Chrome and Opera, except that even if I don't put the boolean star in pres-test, it still shows the star.
In Firefox and IE, it just shows the h1 and img in the pres-test.
In Safari it seems that it doesn't understand the tags like dom-module, template or pres-test, since it first displays what is in the dom-module, then what is in pres-test, without adapting to the variables.
I looked for the compatibility of Polymer, but I only found it for the version 0.5.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it just not compatible with these browsers?

Only Chrome supports having custom element definitions inline in your main document. Other browsers currently do not have full and proper implementations of the new and upcoming standard.
Take the pres-test element definition and move it into its own HTML file, then import it.
Also, you only need to import one of the webcomponents.js polyfills - and for Polymer 1.0, you'll want to use webcomponents-lite.js.
All said and done you'll have two files:
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">

<pres-test name="withoutStar">
<h2>Example:</h2>
<img src="http://placesheen.com/100/100"></img>
<p>No star icon :()</p>
</pres-test>

return star ? '' : 'display: none';
}
});
