Empty star is missing in new icon font

[Arkerthan]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Currently porting a game to 2.37, noticed the empty star (old code 0xe801) does not exist in the new icon set.

Is there any particular reason for this?

Describe the solution you'd like. The empty star is readded.

Describe alternatives you've considered. Pull in my own fontawsome subset.

In this case a note in the "Code Updates" section of the guide would be appreciated. (I'd argue icons going missing is a breaking change)

Additional context. Relevant commit: https://github.com/tmedwards/sugarcube-2/commit/e776abaa07e2350241d0420df351033ecdbb4406

In the very commit you linked to the description reads:

• Update icon font and all references to it.
• Add icon font reference guide to the documentation.

If we look at the documentation we find: Guide: Icon Font.

The icon is still there it just changed position—well, and name. As to why the icons changed position, previously they had custom IDs, but with this update they have the IDs assigned by Font Awesome.

Which is missing the equivalent for icon-star-empty (0xe801). https://www.motoslave.net/sugarcube/tmp/tme-fa-icons/

If I'm wrong just tell me the ID, but I've looked through that list several times and cannot find it.

Font Awesome 6 (and possible earlier versions) use font-weight to control if a glyph like Star is shown "full", or as one of the three possible variations of "empty". This is why all four variations of the Star glyph have the same numerical identifier of f005 eg, solid is 900, regular is 400, light is 300, and thin is 100.

I however was not able to get font-weight to control the behaviour of the sc-icon font, possible because it doesn't have weight based variations of itself, or possible because my CSS-fu is weak. :)
