Some fontawesome icons are broken / don't fit their viewport about react-icons

[gorangajic]

some icons in font awesome have more than one, thats why we had broken old icons that were duplicated.

for example
repeat => rotate-right
undo => rotate-left
gear => cog

Now they are removed 2a3f1bf

I see. How did you decide which ones to keep? E.g. undo is the official name and rotate-left the alias, but you kept rotate-left. http://fontawesome.io/icon/undo/

Is your whole process automated? If so, can't we support aliases? Like module.exports = require('./undo.js'); inside the rotate-left.js (or whatever the equivalent es6 is)?

it's not all automated, it's look like it took first icon that come in alphabetical order.

At first I was using svg-caster to get svg icons from the font file, now I use https://icomoon.io/ because I thought that svg-caster was broken #6

But now 1.0.3 is a breaking change, because some people (including me) already use fa icons which are now removed. We should keep them and automate everything. Discussion here: #11
