Fontawesome 6 Free & Pro

[sagacic-tim]

I am trying to get Fontawesome 6 to work in Joomla 4.2.5 and having a difficult time. I am I uploaded all the Fontawesome 6 files to vendor/fontawesome6 and replaced the entries in joomla.asset.json for Fontawesome with the following:
377 {
378 "name": "fontawesome",
379 "type": "style",
380 "uri": "vendor/fontawesome6/free/fontawesome.min.css",
381 "package": "@fontawesome/fontawesome6",
382 "version": "6.2.0"
383 },
384 {
385 "name": "fontawesome-solid",
386 "type": "style",
387 "uri": "vendor/fontawesome6/free/solid.min.css",
388 "dependencies": [
389 "fontawesome"
390 ],
391 "version": "6.2.0"
392 },
393 {
394 "name": "fontawesome-brands",
395 "type": "style",
396 "uri": "vendor/fontawesome6/free/brands.min.css",
397 "dependencies": [
398 "fontawesome"
399 ],
400 "version": "6.2.0"
401 },
402 {
403 "name": "fontawesome-v5-font-face",
404 "type": "style",
405 "uri": "vendor/fontawesome6/free/v5-font-face.min.css",
406 "dependencies": [
407 "fontawesome"
408 ],
409 "version": "6.2.0"
410 },

I left the line numbers in so you can see where in the file this is added.

Problem is I don't know what the "package": attribute is looking for or how to define packages in Joomla 4. Any help would be appreciated. Nothing is getting loaded. And no icons are displaying in the atum administrator Dashboard page. The section is showing no Fontawseome .css files being loaded either.

What else needs to be addressed here?

What I would like to see

It would be much nicer if I could install new versions of Fontawesome via template installation or through the Dashboard. I think it would be a good idea to be able to install the free version or the pro version and have a place to enter the license for the pro version.

Until That Time
Can anyone give me a heads up on how to handle this manually.

Look ladies and gentlemen, we are looking down the barrel of some pretty hard times, but that doesn't mean we need to give up on the Open Source paradigm; we need to fight harder to make this the paradigm that is carried forward. A little help here please.
