Where is the FontAwesome.ttf? Without adding this file to the project library wouldn't work?

Download it manually - this lib won't do it for you.

The FontAwesome.ttf is no longer used, because fontawesome does not have this file anymore. Now the fontawesome use separated files named like this:

fa-brands-400.ttf fa-regular-400.ttf fa-solid-900.ttf

I've downloaded those files, put them in my fonts folder and run react-native link again but am still getting the square box with a cross instead of the icon. Do you know if there's anything else undocumented that needs to be done to get this going?

I had to modify FontAwesomeIcons.js and change the font names, which weren't matching the actual names of the font files that I saw when opening the fonts in FontBook.

e.g. instead of "FontAwesome5FreeSolid" I changed it to "Font Awesome 5 Pro" -- or "Font Awesome 5 Free" if I were using the free set.

There might be a better solution, but I'm not sure what it is?
