Hey @Thomas_Rother. If you can get this plugin to work for you (caveat it seems to be broken for some as @JammyDodger mentioned), then there’s two lists of fontawesome icons in Discourse which will give you the exact name you need to use.

There’s this one, which is the one that Discourse loads by default (i.e. will always work if you just use the right name)

And there’s icons in the Fontawesome SVGs in Discourse (The name is the id on the symbol). The icons in the SVG which are not listed in lib/svg_sprite.rb will work if they’re loaded by a plugin or theme.

So for fa-newspaper, it looks like:

  1. It’s not in the list in lib/svg_sprite.rb meaning that Discourse does not load it by default;
  2. There is a newspaper in the fontawesome/regular.svg and fontawesome/solid.svg

So to use it in the News plugin you’d need to load newspaper in a theme or plugin following the steps laid out in
