Description:
I just updated from version 5.0.2 to 5.0.6 and there are tons of missing glyphs. You can confirm this by scrolling through the glyphs in the Unicode Private Use Area in gucharmap.

Reverting to the 5.0.2 package fixed the missing glyphs for me.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Upgrade to 5.0.6.
2. Run gucharmap.
3. Select Font Awesome 5 Free.
4. Select Private Use Area under Unicode Block.
5. Look for areas with popular glyphs. Notice all the missing glyphs around them.
6. Compare to 5.0.2 to see what's missing.
This task depends upon

I'm fairly sure this is caused by the change from including web-fonts-with-css/webfonts/*.ttf to only including web-fonts-with-css/webfonts/fa-regular-400.ttf. Is there any context on why you're not including all 3 ttf files any more?

That's 100% the reason for the change, mainly missing the Brands .ttf(fa-brands-400.ttf) which houses almost all the fun glyphs people enjoy using.

Right sorry. I have no recollections of why the line only including `fa-regular-400.ttf` was added, however the change has been reverted and a new package has been pushed.
