Don't use Font Awesome icons #353

Currently it is necessary to add Font Awesome to be able to use collapsing/expanding notes. I think this is not necessary for the just 5 icons used.

Arrows/brackets could be easily replaced with standard brackets. There are more as enough to select from, i.e. ❰ ❱ (thanks to css rotating these could look up and down as well)
The group icon could also be replaced with 👥
Maybe there could/should be an option for overriding the inner template of the containers, so others could easily replace the icons with custom ones/html

@scrobbleme . Thanks a lot for your advice . I think it's not first time that orghchart users want to replace default font awesome icons with common symbols.

@dabeng If this is interesting I may come up with an idea (pull request) for this

Hello. I agree. Furthermore since I switched to font awesome 5.x icons are no more displayed. FA version 5.x introduced some changes that are not managed by your current version. I would recommend that you use your own icons based on svg. There will be no more dependencies.

Even better: just use some UTF-8 symbols by default and allow users to change this (through an option).

@dabeng agree with OP, I'am actually trying to include OrgChart in my drupal custom module but expanding/collapsing arrows are not showing up :-1:
