1. Installing custom fonts correctly and available cross-browser is
sometimes tricky. Don't let it discourage you.
2. You should avoid enabling HTML, the feature you need can be done
without it.
3. The recipe Cookbook:FontAwesome was indeed old and without a
maintainer. I am now taking over the maintenance and I rewrote the
installation instructions and most of the page. The font is now enabled
on that page and can be tested.
4. That page contains instructions for the actual and current
FontAwesome release, which has all needed files, styles, fonts, and
settings for different browsers. If you are trying to use a font
different from "FontAwesome Free", installing it will likely be
different -- if you need assistance, please provide more information.

On web pages, I use a custom font and font-face script.
I could find no documentation at all about custom fonts, so looked for
some workarounds.
The first thing I could was using Font Awesome within PMWiki - which
would satisfy (https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/FontAwesome)
However I followed the very simple instructions carefully, and it did
not work, after several hours testing I gave up.
The issue there was if you take the code it wants to use to implement,
<i class="fa fa-info-circle"></I> , then PMWiki just shows the code.
I tried surrounding it like so (div: <i class="fa
fa-info-circle"></I>:)(:divend) - still didn’t work. Neither did
(html:
Then I tried to use both EnableHTML, and ConvertHTML to make PMWiki
read that code <i class="fa fa-info-circle"></I>
These threw up config errors, and although people had published later
code for different versions of PHP, none of those worked.
And they all seemed to be from 2008-2014. Is all of this functionality
deprecated and no longer supported? Or am I being really dense?
