... I made the same mistake at beginning, but after examining the two
fonts with "FontLab Studio" I have seen the differences ! ;-)

Hi again....
So I checked the FontAwesome download folder again. There are 2 fonts there...
"FontAwesome.ttf" and "fontawesome-webfont.ttf".
I had loaded and activated the former. Now that I have deleted it from my
system and loaded the latter, I can see what you are seeing in PopChar.
Confusing!
Thanks for your help, Guglielmo.

Mmm ... strange ... have you scrolled down on the character pane and selected
Unicode on top ?

Hi Guglielmo,
I think I used to use a version of PopChar several years ago...
OK, I've downloaded the trial. Looks useful.
If I select FontAwesome from within PopChar, I'm still only seeing those 57
characters. I suppose these are the ones with low unicode values?
Is there some trick to PopChar that would allow me to view "high unicode
values"?
I did find this:
http://rorohiko.blogspot.mx/2011/11/i-am-using-lion-where-is-my-trusted.html
... with instructions on setting the native character viewer to show the
Unicode tables.
And also many useful subsets I didn't know about, such as "Sign/Standard Symbols" and
"Pictographs"
Still not seeing the full unicode character set with a specific font, though.
Any ideas?

Hi Charles,
normally I use also PopChar (http://www.ergonis.com/products/popcharx/) and he
correctly show the unicode characters ...
Much better than the native character viewer ... but ... try before buy ... ;-)

So for those of us without FontLab Studio, is there a Mac utility that is
useful for showing unicode values?
Or perhaps someone has created a LC stack for doing so?
I was just looking at the Character Viewer built in to OS X Lion, but it does
not show unicode values... unless of course I'm missing something, which is
probable.

Hi Jacque,
the FontAwesome.ttf that you find into the font folder is NOT empty ... just appear empty
if you use quick-look, but I opened the font on Mac with "FontLab Studio" and
all characters are there, just with high unicode values (most are between F000 and F0EA,
plus one in F200).
Hope this help ...

Whoops. Didn't mean to use that subject line... have to stop drinking at lunch

A client just directed me to Font Awesome.
http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/
I'm not familiar with Twitter Bootstrap, for which it was designed, but it
looks immediately useful for LC.
It's basically a very large monochrome icon collection in vector format, and
also collected as a TrueType font.
I expect it may be useful for both desktop and mobile development.
Seems like it could interesting with the new field capabilities.
Great find! I downloaded it but the ttf webfont file is empty and the desktop
one has only a handful of icons in it. The PDF is okay but I can't extract the
vectors from there. I'd rather have the font; anyone know how to make those
other formats work on a Mac?
