What is Font Awesome?

Font Awesome is a web font and icon provider which allows developers to easily implement intuitive icons into their website.

Why would I want to proceed with this configuration?

To restore the Lidar Records Tablet icons. Font Awesome offers both paid and free plans. However, free plans are limited by the number of page views and since this is a free resource I will not be paying for page views beyond what the free plan offers.
