Oh, I hadn't checked it properly. This one works (there were two
names for the same icon).
Another thought: since the code only looks at the symbolic name
("fa5", for example), instead of having
fontawesome5-regular-webfont.ttf being a symlink to (or copy of)
forkawesome, we could just call it forkawesome-regular-webfont.ttf and
modify the qtawesome/__init__.py file to refer to these files
instead. That way, someone glancing at the package contents would
know exactly what it contains.
Best wishes,
Julian
