Answer 1

Open up your font-awesome.css file in dist/css and see in the first block #font-face where the src is pointing to. Make sure it is pointing to the correct directory where you have extracted the font-awesome fonts and the error will go away.
For me I had to do something like this in my gulpfile:
gulp.task('build-fonts', function(){
return gulp.src(config.bowerDir + '/font-awesome/fonts')
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/fonts'));
})
