title: How do I use angular-fontawesome with Angular Material?
body: <p>Existing questions on this subject refer to how to use Angular with FontAwesome Icons and the Answer is ideally <a href="https://github.com/FortAwesome/angular-fontawesome" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Angular FontAwesome</a>. I searched both repo's and didn't really find much using angular-fontawesome. There are hints of older solutions only. </p>
  
  <p>So I have that.  I am also using Angular Material Buttons, to which I have been tasked with using FontAwesome Icons in my Buttons and this leads me to <a href="https://material.angular.io/components/icon/overview" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Material Icons</a>  </p>
  
  <p>I am not really sure where to begin. </p>
  
  <p>Providing I have added an Icon to angular-fontawesome as described. I have a Button with a Icon ready to go, there is a standard method to use to connect the two?</p>
  
  <p>TLDR:  I want to use a <code>Material Icon Button</code>, but I am unable to use a <code>Material Icon</code> and have to use <code>FontAwesome Icons</code> instead. I don't know how to achieve this. </p>
