I haven't been successful getting the font-face Font Awesome Pro Regular or Light to work. Instead, Emacs appears to fallback to Font Awesome Pro Solid. Here's what I've done/found so far. Using M-x describe-char yields:
xft:-PfEd-Font Awesome 5 Pro-normal-normal-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
(So, it clearly isn't using the Light face, but does report 'regular', but the fonts that appear are actually from the solid font-face.)
In terminal:
fc-list : family style file spacing | grep Font
prints
/usr/share/fonts/OTF/Font Awesome 5 Pro-Solid-900.otf: Font Awesome 5 Pro,Font Awesome 5 Pro Solid:style=Solid,Book
/usr/share/fonts/OTF/Font Awesome 5 Pro-Regular-400.otf: Font Awesome 5 Pro,Font Awesome 5 Pro Regular:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/OTF/Font Awesome 5 Brands-Regular-400.otf: Font Awesome 5 Brands,Font Awesome 5 Brands Regular:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/fa-regular-400.ttf: Font Awesome 5 Pro:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/fa-solid-900.ttf: Font Awesome 5 Pro:style=Solid
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/fa-brands-400.ttf: Font Awesome 5 Brands:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/fa-light-300.ttf: Font Awesome 5 Pro:style=Light
/usr/share/fonts/OTF/Font Awesome 5 Pro-Light-300.otf: Font Awesome 5 Pro,Font Awesome 5 Pro Light:style=Light
I've tried setting the variable using custom, but that didn't work. Custom inserted into my init.el
(org-bullets-face-name (quote Font\ Awesome\ 5\ Pro\ Light))
In the user-init-file I've tried a number of things such as
(setq org-bullets-face-name (quote Font\ Awesome\ 5\ Pro\ Light))
(setq org-bullets-face-name "Font Awesome 5 Pro Light")
(setq org-bullets-face-name "Font Awesome 5 Pro:style=Light")
If I remove all the font files except for the one I want to use, it works without adding any code to my user-init-file.
I appreciate any help that comes my way. Thanks.
