Is it possible to use Font Awesome in Language Customization?

  1. HTML Settings - Remove HTML tags - Unticked
  2. Font Awesome Filter - Applied to all formats

As far as I am aware, the Local Customization input field is Plain Text Format and certainly supports HTML. Is there a reason why I cannot use Font Awesome in the same way I use it in HTML blocks and Labels?

I tried using [fa fa-icon], <a class>, <span class> but no luck.

A wise word would be greatly appreciated. smile

If I understood it correctly then I don't think it will work like you would need. The UI strings (eventually customized) are not always processed by filters. Filters are generally applied to user content only.
