To support the helix-v5 upgrade, we will need to phase out support for Font Awesome icons in the decorateIcons script.
Only magazine.js uses Font Awesome icons in a way that depends on the decorateIcons script. The current implementation of these icons can be replaced to maintain the Font Awesome icons. The HTML output will become different.
As the Magazine will be part of redesign efforts, the icons will be replaced when new blocks will be built. Hence there’s no need to find alternative icons.
