Hi Vinicius,

it simply ships the font files inside python-qtawesome-common. I don’t
know why it depends on fonts-font-awesome.

Looking at the source code this variable does nothing at all. It still
tries to load the bundled (missing) fonts inside __init__.py and fails.
I tried replacing the font paths, which works, but then icons are
missing in spyder, because they are not present in fontawesome 4.7.

Sure, a v2 shouldn’t be necessary, I have everything in git, but I’ll
need to test the package upgrades first.

Cheers,
Lars
