Fontawesome icons doesn't load in backend

[vtheod]

As I have recently discovered, there are some icons used by astroid that are not loaded by atum's fa css. For example fa-gear, fa-trash, fa-copy, fa-codepen, fa-heading etc.
This is happening only on j4.x which uses fa v5.15.4 and not on j5 which uses the latest fa.
As expected, you can face this issue only in article editing in the widgets section, not in astroid's panel.
This is more an atum's problem than astroid's, but it conflicts with our beloved framework...

I have checked this with more than two different installations, and it happens in every case.

Why still Joomla 4? Migrate to Joomla 5 and everything will be fine.
We are already talking about Joomla 6 and therefore no more resources should be wasted on J4.

End of regular bugfix Support for 4.x = 15 October 2024
End of security fix only Support for 4.x = 14 October 2025

@WM-Loose surely there will be some reasons for someone to still use j4 and as far as I know astroid hasn't dropped support for j4 yet.

@vtheod Joomla will no longer provide bug fixes for Joomla 4 as of October 15, 2024, as you can read in the roadmap yourself, and expect further adjustments and fixes from Astroid for Joomla 4?
Did I understand that correctly?

@WM-Loose if you read carefully my first post you'll see that I'm saying: "This is more an atum's problem than astroid's, but it conflicts with our beloved framework..."
So, this means that I report this bug but I don't expect for a fix since it's not astroid's problem. I'm pretty sure that Sonny understood what I wrote.
Regarding Joomla 4 it will keep getting security updates for one more year, so it's not over yet.
I hope things are more clear now for you.
I wish you a blessed new year!

@vtheod Ok thanks Vassilis, now I understand.
Have a good new year and good luck.
