How to Use Font Awesome With Ionic [v4]

The built in Ionicons with Ionic are great, but if you need something specific, have your own custom icons or anything that’s not covered by the standard icon pack you have to find different ways.

One of the best free icon packages is Font Awesome, but it doesn’t work that good out of the box with Ionic.
