Hi,

First of all, very nice plugin! I recently installed it in our Moodle test environment, but I am having an issue that not all icons display. I am using the codes for free solid icons, and certain (random) icons like volume-mute or uber logo don't render. Do you have any idea why this might be happening? Also, I am having an issue with flipping the icons as well.

Thanks in advance! Best, Liana

In order to use brands like uber you must provide inside the square brackets the fab class. Example: [fab fa-uber fa-2x]

I'm not sure yet which version does Moodle have in core, but I think it's not FontAwesome 5! Therefore a lot of icons will not be displayed, and If you want use FontAwesome 5 you must override the Moodle defaults. We've done this in our custom boost theme, We're using the FontAwesome 5 Pro!

Here are some examples: image

Please read the README there is described how you can animate and flip icons.
