I just found out that there is some icons which have been modified such as the fa fa-user or fa fa-university, if you switch between 4.1.0 and 4.2.0 you'll see that it's not the same..
Is there a way to keep the old Awesome Icons version but add 'manually' the new icons ?
Not easily.
The ways to customize Font-Awasome icons are listed in issue 3168.
In the fonts folder, you will find the .otf file used to develop the font.
I suppose you need to edit that one with illustrator and export with http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator.
Note:
the fa-university in 4.2 is quite similar to the university ("icon-bank") of 4.1
same between fa-user in 4.2 and user in 4.1.

I found a linked Font awesome kit in an old project. Like:
<script src="https://use.fontawesome.com/xxxxxxxxxx.js"></script>
I can only find two icons in the code. Is there a way to preview all the icons from that kit? I could not find any information on their webpage to preview the kit without an account.
I am using font-awesome version 4.7.0 in my web application. I decided to buy a font-awesome pro. Can I add font-awesome pro 5.13.0 to my app and remove the early font-awesome version 4.7.0 from my app?
Will that break any existing icons I used from font-awesome version 4.7.0?
Yes it's. You have the ability to configure your kit to enable the V4.
Here is a screenshot showing the configuration:
More details here too: https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/upgrading-from-version-4#kits
By the way, I advice you to wait and buy the V6 that will be released soon: https://fontawesome.com/6
The link seem to be broken:
https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/assets/font-awesome-4.7.0.zip
Any alternative link?
Thx
You can find it on GitHub :
https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/releases/tag/v4.7.0
I download it successfully but I didn't try it, I think it will work
The link you posted is working. maybe you hit it during an outage. But both your direct link or from the download button on the screen here work.
FontAwesome creators are going to upgrade from v5 to v6 so the v4 may be completely dropped soon.
You can still preview and search icons or download FontAwesome v4.7 icons on Github.
Im using font-mfizz for icons on my site and for whatever reason they always appear as squares. I have all the fonts installed in all different formats and im still getting no results.
here is the code that I have
<i class="icon-javascript-alt"></i>
I had the same problem. When you download the font-mfizz package, simply paste all files (css, eot, svg, ttf, woff) to your project folder.
I am using cordova 6.0 in android studio. i want to use google material-design icons in html page for my personal project, but when i use the CDN of google icons it doesn't get rendered.
If you need only Icons then material-design-icons. The setup information guide is given there.
If you need whole material framework (Paper Elements, Cards and Floating Action Button) including fonts then getmdl.io
