Details

Description:
Not sure whether this is the right place to put this bug (because I think it depends on the version of FontAwesome). On line 45 of fontawesome.sty, "\newfontfamily{\FA}{FontAwesome}" needs to be changed to "\newfontfamily{\FA}{Font Awesome 5 Free}"

Additional info:
* texlive-fontsextra 2017.46787-1

Steps to reproduce:
Try to to use \usepackage{fontawesome} with XeLaTeX (with otf-font-awesome installed via pacman).
This task depends upon

You are confusing two packages: fontawesome and fontawesome5.
Both work correctly with lualatex.

But you are right that by default, xelatex fails to load fontawesome even using the texlive 2018 packages.
It's not supposed to load the version from otf-font-awesome but this one:
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/fontawesome/FontAwesome.otf

To fix the issue you have to enable texlive fonts in the fontconfig configuration:

ln -s ../conf.avail/09-texlive-fonts.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d

Also, please this package should replaces fontawesome.sty (https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2020-February/037658.html)

Or maybe fontawesome.sty should just been re-added for people not willing to install 1GB of texlive fonts...
