Semantic-ui-react: Font Awesome 5 adoption

[Ne-Ne]

Feature Request

Problem description

As a semantic ui user for react. I cannot use the latest font awesome v5 icons, including multiple font-weights.

Proposed solution

Update to latest package to absorb all the new icons.

Looking at the SUI documentation this would require all the icon names to re-written or a change in strategy.

What are the opinions on this?

We use FontAwesome from [email protected] that contains update to SUI 2.3. Please clarify your needs.

@layershifter I am guessing this is a request to update to a later font awesome version than 5.0.8.

Sorry for the delay.

Initially I misread the docs. However now I do require the latest font awesome package.

It would be great to have the latest version of Font Awesome! 👍

I hope that it will included in the next SUI release and we will can adopt these changes, https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI/issues/6395.
