### The issue

You can create custom links using `Theme Configuration --> Configuration category: Navigation menu --> Extra entries`

In this code you can use icons as follows

```javascript
{'extra':[{'title':'phpMyAdmin','link':'https://www.example.com/app/phpmyadmin','icon':'database','level':0,'target':'_blank'}]}

```

As you can see I have used the name **database** for the icon.

This icon is from FontAwesome but I searched in the HTML and but could not find the FontAwesome Font to see what is available.

I wanted to find the font to see what version of Font Awesome is being used so I could pick a suitable icon

### What I found

- [https://authentic-theme.com/kit/](https://authentic-theme.com/kit/) this has a limited list of icons, i.e. not all of the FontAwesome collection.
- I tried using the icon name **box** but that did not work
- in authentic theme `\authentic-theme-21.10\unauthenticated\fonts` a load of `woff2` fonts (41 fonts) but with no identifying name. After using [fontdrop.com](http://fontdrop.com) / [fontsee.com](http://fontsee.com) they appear to be all Roboto fonts.

### Questions

- Has virtualmin made its own custom FontAwesome font with a limited number of icons?
- What version of FontAwesome is being used?
- Is [https://authentic-theme.com/kit/](https://authentic-theme.com/kit/) a full list of icons?

Thanks as always, I will get this added to my notes.

For reference, the icons are base64 encoded and in `bundle.min.css` with the font name `Authentic`
