Can't import fontawesome-webfont typography - css

Question

I am trying to import a font (fontawesome version 4.4.0's webfont) I have located in a directory called 'fonts' inside my project:
I have read several StackOverflow posts and I'm trying to import it using #font-face inside css:
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');
}
And then using it in the body:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
}
However, it's not loading:
Any idea on why is this happening? I can actually see the expected font inside the files...
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
In the network tab in my browser's developer tools I can see the follwing info:
.
In the 'Response' tab inside Network, I get "failed to load response data". Maybe the problem is there?
Edit2:
Other fonts are being loaded just fine. For example, 'Raleway' (which is very similar, but not exactly the same. Notice the difference in the 'l'):
I am trying to get this font (I think it's Adobe's 'Proxima Nova', the same used in Fontawesome's site, that's the reason of the name)...

Answer 1

I think the problem is that font awesome is only for icons, not text.
If you go to fontawesome.com and remove this line of code:
.fa, .fas {
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Pro";
}
You will see all the icons that have the class fa and fas will be just a rectangle.
You also need to give every element other fonts like:
.fab {
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Brands";
}
.fa, .far, .fas {
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free";
}
