Update Font Awesome

[mjdescy]

I very much want to include the "microblog" icon from Font Awesome 5.14.0 in my site's social icons. When I try to use it, using the code below in config.toml, nothing displays:

[[params.social]]
    url   = "https://user.micro.blog"
    icon  = "microblog" # icon name without the 'fa-'
    icon_pack = "fab"

Unfortunately, I don't know how to resolve this on my own. Does the Font Awesome code in the theme need to be updated? (I don't know how to do that.)

You are right. Font Awesome is not up to date and is missing the microblog icon from newer releases.

Font Awesome should be updated to include the "microblog' icon and other icons. Thank you @mjdescy for bringing this up!

Hello, I would also like to point out that other than the "microblog" icon, the "blog" icon from Font Awesome 5.6.0 does not display on the site as well, after similar procedures as mentioned by @mjdescy are carried out.

The code used in the config.toml file:

[[params.social]]
    url   = "https://somebodys.blog"
    icon  = "blog" # icon name without the 'fa-'
    icon_pack = "fas"

Hey, how's the progress on this? If no one is working on it, I'd be happy to do it (it might have to wait until the weekend, though)
