Correct that same needed for runtime as IDE.
The fontawesome family is actually hard coded in the icon library LCB file. On
initialization it loads it from the code which is why anything custom is not
persistent.
Due to the way the library works though, you could create your own family with
just the custom icons that you need to add. As long as the name of the icon is
unique, it should be found and loaded when used. There is just no guarantee of
the search order if the name is in multiple families that are not selected as
current. This would net a smaller array that you could store and restore.
