I believe npm i @fortawesome/fontawesome-free
will download version 6 of font awesome, the latest version out right now. It provides around 1,700 free icons, compared to the 675 that version 4 offers, which is what the Infomapper is currently using. I'm not sure if it's backwards compatible, so I'll have to check that.
There are currently two icon packages being used by the Infomapper/Common library: Font Awesome version 4 and Material Design Icons. It seems a little redundant to have both being used. I feel like one can be removed, as they both contain a good amount of icons, and don't really have something that the other doesn't.
Some red flags I've found with the Material Design Icons package is:
npm material-design-icons
and finally got to the page.I didn't really see anything inherently wrong with Font Awesome. Version 4 is currently installed, with version 5 being the most current version out, and 6 on the way. As long as the version contains all that the Infomapper needs, staying with version 4 might be okay, but I'll look into upgrading and see what that entails.
