Columns As you mention "it's not always easy to get the spacing right." Is this a flaw in this template?

Icons Noticed many of the icons offered on the font awesome site don't work in ours. Is it because the ones listed in the Basic page /icons were purchased by the developers and new ones weren't. Is there an easy way to get them to work or do we have to download some module?

Columns The positioning of elements is based on floating the elements on the page, the spacing depends on the size of floated elements. It is not a flaw of this template.

Icons New versions of Font Awesome (http://fontawesome.io/icons/) bring new icons, the version we use might be older. I assume that if we upgraded the version (downloaded and installed), we would be able to use the complete set of 675 icons in Font Awesome 4.7.0 If we need more icons than that, we can get thousands of icons with FA Pro ($40).

Columns Does this mean that ensuring number of characters be somewhat equal, will prevent spacing issues? (I spend a lot of time with spacing issues) I presume the floating elements is to do with responsiveness for different devices?

Icons Good to know, will make the determination if and when we want them. Thanks!

Columns: Yes, if the floating elements are somewhat equal in size, the spacing issues should not be a big problem. Floating elements are used in responsive designs.

Can you update the new version of font awesome after all? (no rush, whenever you have time)
