FontAwesome documentation not available in china
samtto use a VPN ? 
There's probably also a mirror somewhere. And last resource, the list of icons can be found in their GitHub project https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/tree/master/metadata , it's just not super user friendly to search through them that way.

I saw that the source code was modified by the third party in China, and the fontawesome was replaced by the domestic icons, but I don't know how to modify....
samtto The actual fonts are hardwired into Flarum, the icons themselves should work in china but the documentation won't. As noted by @clarkwinkelmann you can use the link he provided to get a listing of the icons.
tankerkiller125 can you tell me Detailed procedures?
clarkwinkelmann How to update the icon file to the local server and then reference the local icon file?
samtto it's just the documentation you can't access, right? I think we already started discussing alternatives in another discussion.
FontAwesome is a composer dependency of Flarum. If it wasn't installable, then Flarum would not be installable either.
Can we please stick to a single discussion?
clarkwinkelmann I don't know why, when installing flarum, the source of composer must be changed to aliyun cloud, but after the installation, the original source can be used to update the website and the plug-in, we can't visit the website of Font Awesome, will u consider the alternative scheme?Or give us a tutorial on how to change Font Awesome?tks.
samtto I personally don't think this is our problem. FontAwesome is an open-source project available from multiple mirrors, and the legality of using FontAwesome is probably not banned in any country.
FontAwesome's own website appears to be blocked in china, probably because they are hosted on some hosting blocked by the Chinese government. This is a problem that should probably be discussed directly with FontAwesome.
If they are not willing to setup an official documentation for chinese users, nothing prevents people from mirroring the official docs. I tried finding discussions about this issue at FontAwesome but couldn't find anything. It's probably worth contacting them about it. Maybe they are not even aware their website is blocked in China.
If you know of any drop-in replacement that chinese app developers commonly use in place of FontAwesome, I would be happy to hear about it.
4 posts were split from Change tag left sidebar icon with custom font awesome icon.
Merged 5 posts from fontawesome china.
6 posts were split to Font awesome in China.
6 posts were split from FontAwesome documentation not available in china.
Merged 7 posts from Font awesome in China.
clarkwinkelmann changed the title to FontAwesome documentation not available in china .
I merged everything and renamed the discussion so we have a single place to discuss the issue.
samtto clarkwinkelmann Font Awesome has a specific site/mirror for china http://www.fontawesome.com.cn/faicons/ (please note I do not know how up to date this is, I do not read Chinese)

tankerkiller125 cool! Didn't know about that one.
Only issue is, it's for FontAwesome 4, but Flarum is now using FontAwesome 5. Most of the v4 icons still work when using fas fa-<v4 name>. But there's many new ones.
The old website was easier to clone/mirror as it was a GitHub Pages website. The new one is much more elaborate and the source of the website itself isn't open-source I believe.
