Minimal working example for PDFLaTeX?

[hpvd]

I'm looking for a minaml working example for Miktex+PDFLaTeX showing Fontawesome symbol. Would be very helpful to have this in documentation...

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\begin{document}
\section{test-section}
Test-text \faCheck test
\end{document}

is producing no pdf:

...
("C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex\fontawesome\fontawesomesymbols-ge
neric.tex")
("C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex\fontawesome\fontawesomesymbols-pd
ftex.tex")) (Latex-Fontawsome-Test.aux)
("C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex\fontawesome\ufontawesometwo.fd")
[1{C:/Users/AdminMobil/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/pdftex/config/pdftex.map}]
(Latex-Fontawsome-Test.aux)Trying to make PK font FontAwesome--fontawesometwo at 600 DPI...
Running miktex-makemf.exe...

Sorry, but miktex-makemf did not succeed for the following reason:

  The FontAwesome--fontawesometwo source file could not be found.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

  C:/Users/AdminMobil/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/miktex-makemf.log

You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page, if you need help.

Running ttf2pk.exe...

Sorry, but miktex-makepk did not succeed for the following reason:

  PK font FontAwesome--fontawesometwo could not be created.

I have/had the same problem. At the moment I try to figure out the reason of the problem, but it has to do with file/folder permissions. As a workaround it helped for me to:

• open the miktex package manager (admin) and uninstall fontawesome
• install fontawesome with non admin package manager
