I've got the same issue.
Can't update the Font Awesome.
Tried using a method from index.php?f=720&t=201256&rb_v=viewtopic#p985755
and in my Oculus theme icons in Contacts module were... just gone on my test site at localhost.
(I didn't edit the code in the module).
Joomla 3.1.5
Gantry v4.1.14

I tried using

with no luck.
Someone must have an answer, but not me

For templates that already included some version of font awesome and use less it's simple:
- download font-awesome.zip from here .
- unzip font-awesome.zip
- move font files in an easy to access location on your webserver such as /var/www/fonts
- move font-awesome's less directory into your template's less directory
- rename font-awesome's less directory to font-awesome
- edit font-awesome/paths.less to point to /fonts as the path for font-awesome
- move font-awesome/font-awesome.less up to your less dir
- edit font-awesome.less to not load core.less or bootstrap.less
- rename font-awesome.less to font-awesome-custom.less
- recompile less files (usually by just clearing caches (browser and server) and reloading page
You may have to adjust the paths depending on your server config. If your template doesn't use less you need to adjust by compiling the less yourself with something like less.app and importing it in your rt_tempate-name-custom.css file.

- The problem with that approach is that it loads the font awesome core and bootstrap again which interferes with the templates. So if you are going to use Gantry's updated font awesome be sure to comment out the core and bootstrap less files when they are included by gantry's font-awesome.less I tried to migrate to this method, but couldn't get it to not wreck the template.

Hi Kat,
Are you sure this is updated. I am on Gantry 4.1.17 and tried to use one of the new Font-Awesome 3.2 icons, but it did not work.
I was trying to use icon-youtube-play ( fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/youtube-play/ ) as an icon for a dropdown menu item. - Cliff Kujala
