Font Awesome static files seem 3 years old?

Good day to whoever reads this. I was trying to load the fab fa-discord icon from Font Awesome. However I was greeted with the old discord logo. I checked which logo they supplied and since the latest version it should be the new logo. So to be sure I updated the font awesome sub module but still got the old discord logo showing up. So I dug a bit deeper and at the moment I’m thinking it’s caused by the webfonts folder in the static folder that seems to have been updated 3 years ago for the last time. I also noticed these files don’t get updated when we bump the font awesome package. So 2 questions;

1. Should I manually update the files in the webfonts folder to be able to use the latest font awesome icons?
2. Should we think of a way to automatically update these files on a version bump?

Huh, that's strange - I didn't set up the original FontAwesome integration so I'm not sure why that static directory is there. Let me investigate.

@LisaFC Just to follow up. I added the static files in my Hugo Project so it would overwrite those. And it indeed fixes the issue of the old logo. So it would seem that these static files are used somehow.

FYI, the following PR proposed that we drop the webfonts. WDYT?
