Sorry
Can't see Load essential icons only option, box.
Hi there,
FontAwesome was removed from GP and the Essential Icons was also removed and replaced with the GP's own icons.
Do you need to add FA to the site?
😕
Yes I want to add some fa, but I don't want install any plugins.
But with a fa I can't manage de size of the fa.
I think
The recommended route at this time is via a plugin as mentioned here:

But How many icons do you need and where do you need to use them?
If its only a few you may be better of using SVG or a icon font that covers the basics.
At moment I only want to use one, a enveloper in a guestbook page.
Thanks for reply
Maybe this would be better for your usage if you don't want to load the entire FA library for a couple of icons:
Such a pity you left from GP :(
The Essential Icons only loaded the icons used in the Theme such as the Menu toggle or back to top button. So to keep the theme lightweight it was preferable to replace these. Using FA to add just an envelope icon requires the whole library to be installed which seriously effects the speed of the site.
More then happy to assist with adding icons in whatever manor you need. But i personally like the SVG icon plugin as you just add what you need :)
