\usesymbols[fontawesome]
\startTEXpage[offset=1ts]
\symbol[fontawesome-solid][times]\quad
\symbol[fontawesome-solid][check]
\stopTEXpage
you can run symb-imp-fontawesome and get a list

Hi,
I have to come back to that topic, since it seems not to work.
The said source code produces just the text "times" and "check" for me
(see 1.pdf). I also tried:
```
\usesymbols[fontawesome]
\starttext
\showsymbolset[fontawesome-solid]
\stoptext
```
and get a list of symbols that do not belong to fontawesome (see 2.pdf).
I also tried to find the symbol file directly in the context
distribution and found:
tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/symb-imp-fontawesome.mkiv
However, most parts are commented out there, one of the few remaining
symbols is wheelchair. However, when using that, I just got the string
_378 (3.pdf). Source code:
```
\usesymbols[fontawesome]
\startTEXpage[offset=1pt]
\symbol[fontawesome][wheelchair]
\stopTEXpage
```
Is there a problem with my installation?
Additional output:
```
% mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern='fontawesome'
identifier familyname fontname filename subfont instances
fontawesome fontawesome fontawesome FontAwesome.otf
fontawesome6brands fontawesome6brands fontawesome6brandsregular /usr/share/fonts/fontawesome/Font Awesome 6 Brands-Regular-400.otf
fontawesome6brandsnormal fontawesome6brands fontawesome6brandsregular /usr/share/fonts/fontawesome/Font Awesome 6 Brands-Regular-400.otf
fontawesome6freenormal fontawesome6free fontawesome6freesolid /usr/share/fonts/fontawesome/Font Awesome 6 Free-Solid-900.otf
fontawesomenormal fontawesome fontawesome FontAwesome.otf
fontawesomeregular fontawesome fontawesome FontAwesome.otf
```
Best,
Gerion

The symbols expect version 5 of fontawesome but you have version 6.
I guess it's time to switch to the new version of the fonts which can be
done by replacing 5 (file:fontawsome5...) with 6 (file:fontawsome6...)
in the following lines in symb-imp-fontawesome.mkiv
\definefontsynonym [FontAwesomeBrands]
[file:fontawesome5brandsregular400.otf]
\definefontsynonym [FontAwesomeRegular]
[file:fontawesome5freeregular400.otf]
\definefontsynonym [FontAwesomeSolid] [file:fontawesome5freesolid900.otf]

My system awesome font is version 6 but isn't the one bundled with
ConTeXt version 5 (FontAwesome.otf)? This one:
tex/texmf/fonts/data/fonticons/fontawesome/FontAwesome.otf: OpenType font data
I would assume that ConTeXt is using the bundled file by default.

It's not our hobby to keep up with font versions and changing names so
we depend on users to signal that. Also, with fonts you never know what
updated fonts will break.
In a next upload we'll define a list of names [5-9] so that we're more
future proof.

Thanks.
Sure, it was my interest to understand, if the error lays in my
installation or is due to the predefined files. Especially, since I did
not manage to display a single symbol of FontAwesome at all, not even
the one that seems to be explicitly defined.
For me, it is not relevant at all, in which version the font is.
My main interest is to get an \xmark symbol.

FontAwesome works with the new version 2024.01.18 (the times symbol is
not present but an xmark symbol directly). Thank you!
