I uploaded the files to my server but I'm only using 5 icons in my site.
How can I delete the Font Awesome icons that I will never use? Like the useful and beautiful Stethoscope.

Thank you
It sounds like you copied the entire font-awesome directory into your project, and this isn't the result you are looking for. If you only want 5 of the Font Awesome icons in your project, and not have the balance of icons available for future use, take a look at Fontello.
Fontello is an icon fonts generator which allows you to pick and choose only the icon fonts you want for your project.
Here's a link to Fontello on GitHub, with information on how to use it:
https://github.com/fontello/fontello/wiki/Help
Another option you have if you only need a few icons, it's IcoMoon where you can choose the icons that are going to be loaded only including the ones from Font-Awesome.
Otherwise, check this blog that explains how to reduce font-awesome size.
If you are using javascript module imports try:
import { faCoffee } from '#fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons/faCoffee' // <-- note the extra faCoffee there

I would like to use FontAwesome in a WordPress theme for social media icons but I want to have all the FontAwesome files on my own server in a separate folder like /theme/assets/fonts/..Which Font Awesome package do I need, the web or the desktop one?
I always get confused by FontAwesome terminology aswell, but this is what you should use https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/hosting-font-awesome-yourself (which is the web version). The only thing left for you to choose form is if you want it in SVG version of standard font. That's totally up to you
I have been surfing through the sites looking for a way to add my custom css font icons for my own application.
I have uploaded the css file in the workspace static files, and put the url in Shared Components\ Themes \ Icons \ Custom Library File URLs.
Please show my how to used my custom css font icons, for I don't want to upload images or so.
Depends on your version, but Maxime has an example here describing how to import Font APEX library for APEX 5.0

You're chasing attributes in the theme settings.
Fonts like Wingdings render letters as a variety of symbols. If you look at some font websites likes dafont, you can see a lot of symbol fonts. Download the font file (ttf) and convert it to woff using some converter tool / websites like convertio. You may refer this stackoverflow question to get an idea about its usage in CSS.
Hope this helps.
In a project with the Meteor javascript framework, I'm using Fontawesome to display my icons.
I want to add my custom icons to FontAwesome. Looking around, I understand that IcoMoon is exactly the tool I need.
But I don't understand how I can add an icon taken in IcoMoon to FontAwesome.
Can someone help me :)
Thanks
This is not a meteor question, but an icomoon question. The answer is that you don't add an icomoon set to font-awesome, rather you let them run together side by side.
What is meteor specific is how you can access those fonts, so they will need to be in your /public/directory.
You can find an example of this through my meteor starter set. You would put your extracted icomoon fonts inside of that /assets/ directory. Then inside of /client/less/ (or sass if you use that) you would put your icomoon file as an import. Finally from your main less file you would import the file like #import "/less/icomoon.import.less"; at the top of your document.
We have Lean Symbol ttf file. We want to use that in our application. We have added that one in our application but don't know how to use it. Like other i.e. glyphicons ttf we use class for accessing its icon representation etc. How I can do w/ this?

Go to ForntSquirrel's web font generator.
Upload your font.
Download your kit.
The zip that you download has all the fonts in web format and gives you some great examples of how to use them.
You might want to consider using font awesome, which is awesome.
Bootstrap also includes Glyphicons as one of their components.
Use something like font squirrel to convert the font into a web font. You can then add the generated font-face css to your stylesheet.
I am looking for the cleanest way to use css font icons that match my site's preexisting icon pack instead of having to create images to use in the plugin folder.
I am open to writing custom solutions as well as using plugins.
I'm not sure if they have to match them 1 on 1, or you just want to have the same type of icons as you had, but I recently ran into and implemented font icons from fontello.com that have many existing icons and supports custom icons if really needed.
