How can I initialize font-awesome support in a non-Kobweb application? (I'm using only lower-level features.)
Simply adding the silk-icons-fa dependency and calling e.g. FaBars() does not work, the font-awesome CSS styles seem to be missing.
Thanks.

It works if I explicitly import the @fortawesome/fontawesome-free module.

The Kobweb Gradle plugin checks if you are using the font-awesome icons library and adds the following to your kobweb.app.index.head property:

If you are in a non-Kobweb project you probably have your own index.html file in there, so you can add this link element yourself manually.
