Answer 1

I was having the very same problem. I took a look a the bower.json file for font-awesome and found this:

{
  "name": "font-awesome",
  "description": "Font Awesome",
  "keywords": [],
  "homepage": "http://fontawesome.io",
  "dependencies": {},
  "devDependencies": {},
  "license": ["OFL-1.1", "MIT", "CC-BY-3.0"],
  "main": [
    "less/font-awesome.less",
    "scss/font-awesome.scss"
  ],
  "ignore": [
    "*/.*",
    "*.json",
    "src",
    "*.yml",
    "Gemfile",
    "Gemfile.lock",
    "*.md"
  ]
}

There was no reference to the "font-awesome.css" in the "main" array. Perhaps, like me, you're not using SASS or LESS for styling. So no styles are being added for font-awesome. I modified the json file as follows:

{
  "name": "font-awesome",
  "description": "Font Awesome",
  "keywords": [],
  "homepage": "http://fontawesome.io",
  "dependencies": {},
  "devDependencies": {},
  "license": ["OFL-1.1", "MIT", "CC-BY-3.0"],
  "main": [
    "less/font-awesome.less",
    "scss/font-awesome.scss",
    "css/font-awesome.css",
    "fonts/fontawesome-webfont.tff",
    "fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff",
    "fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2"
  ],
  "ignore": [
    "*/.*",
    "*.json",
    "src",
    "*.yml",
    "Gemfile",
    "Gemfile.lock",
    "*.md"
  ]
}

I saved and ran grunt serve, and now my font-awesome icons show up.

Hope this helps.
