Expected behavior &Actual behavior

can we use the latest "fontawesome"?? i only tried to add in themes/next/layout/_partials/head.swig

<!--自己加的fontawesome--> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-fnmOCqbTlWIlj8LyTjo7mOUStjsKC4pOpQbqyi7RrhN7udi9RwhKkMHpvLbHG9Sr" crossorigin="anonymous">

after

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ font_awesome_uri }}"/>

then, it did update some fonts (shows in local). however, some fonts shows strange. like "fa fa-external-link", it cannot show in the web.

so, i feel so sad, and remove what i have changed. everything become normal.

how can i turn this issue into suggestion??(i am so unfamiliar with git 😢).

我在本地预览，大部分图标是正常的，但是，这个链接的符号就显示不出来了，只显示了一个正方形，相当于我的每个链接后面都有一个正方形「笑抽」。 当然了，我删除我自己加的部分后，还是正常的，只是有的新图标又变回了原来的老图标，比如：“火”（fire）.新图标的fire要比旧的fire更加大、好看（所以好想更新啊，但是按照我这样的更新，那个链接的图标就不行了）

我建议大佬们更新一下（毕竟我不太熟悉代码，随意加一段代码还是有bug），==

（怎么把这个issue变成“建议”呢？？）

fa fa-external-link was renamed to fab fa-external-link in fontawesome v5 ... you can have a try And you can join the discussion about fontawesome here: https://github.com/theme-next/hexo-theme-next/issues/505

新图标确实更好看，但是出了free版和pro版，且一些图标更名了，所以比较麻烦；目前还在讨论中
