That idea occurred to me too, but I think in that case it would not work (would 
not render the characters properly), for the fonts would not be loaded at all 
from such bogus URLs, would they?

Anyway I have tried to change the URLs in the CSS file to absolute ones like 
this:

===
 @font-face {
    font-family: 'FontAwesome';
    src: url('/dms/css/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=4.6.3');
    src: 
url('/dms/css/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=4.6.3') 
format('embedded-opentype'), 
url('/dms/css/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2?v=4.6.3') 
format('woff2'), 
url('/dms/css/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.6.3') 
format('woff'), 
url('/dms/css/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=4.6.3') 
format('truetype'), 
url('/dms/css/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg?v=4.6.3#fontawesomeregular')
 format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style:normal
}
===

and the problem persists. It persists even if I use complete URLs incl. the 
server, like “http://localhost:56005/dms/css/font-awesome...”, which I tried 
too.

So, triple alas, that would not be the culprit, I fear.

Thanks and all the best,
OC
