title: Laravel 5.7 + Font Awesome
body: <p>I'm trying to include the Font Awesome toolkit in Laravel 5.7.</p>
  
  <p>These are the steps I took:</p>
  
  <p>1) Run <code>npm install --save-dev @fortawesome/fontawesome-free</code></p>
  
  <p>2) Check the folders in <code>node_modules/</code> and everything looks OK.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$fa-font-path: "../webfonts";
  
  // Bootstrap
  @import '~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap';
  @import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome.scss';
  @import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid.scss';
  @import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular.scss';
  @import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands.scss';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>3) Then I ran...</p>
  
  <pre><code>npm run development -- --watch
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>4) I see files in <code>public/fonts/vendor/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/</code>.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I go to the browser the icons look like this:</p>
