    Love this theme! Noted when used as parent to a child theme, the font-awesome CSS is not found because it is referenced via:

    get_stylesheet_directory_uri()

    I got around it by copying the /fa directory to my child theme.

  • Hello Cogdog and All,

    I appreciate this question/comment is over a month old, and you seem to have found a workaround.
    However, in case anyone is facing the same issue, the solution is (and I think this was discussed here) simply to add the below enqueue code to your Child’s FUNCTIONS.PHP file (see below 2nd wp_enqueue_style line, right after enqueuing the stylesheet). See below : 

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX);
function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
  wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
  wp_enqueue_style( 'hitchcock_fontawesome', get_template_directory_uri() . '/fa/css/font-awesome.css' );

}

    If you use the above, you don’t have to move the /fa folder from its original location.
    This works great on my site. I hope this can help someone.
    Christophe
