The current fontawesome package is not yet updated to the version 3.2.1 of Font Awesome. I'd like to manually select some of the new icons. Merging some snippets i have come up with this:

%!TEX TS-program = lualatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{fontawesome}

\def\faTwitterBird{{\FA \symbol{"F099}}}
\def\faCalender{{\FA \symbol{"F133}}}
\def\faXing{{\FA \symbol{"F168}}}

\begin{document}
- \faTwitterBird - \faCalender - \faXing
\end{document}

Unfortunately, it does not display one of the newer icons (e.g. xing).

    Are you sure luatex actually finds the new font? Btw: I think the closing quote in the symbol command is wrong (The starting quote are tells latex that a hex number follows). – Ulrike Fischer Aug 02 '13 at 09:14
  • You're right. It was not loading my system font but from the installed package /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/fontawesome/FontAwesome.otf. Replacing this one yields the wanted result. Is there actually a better way to load the system font instead of replacing it in the package? – bioslime Aug 02 '13 at 09:22
  • Imho the current luaotfload should prefer system fonts over texmf fonts. Did you rebuild the database with luaotfload-tool after installing the system font? – Ulrike Fischer Aug 02 '13 at 10:10
  • Are there any news here? – Johannes_B Feb 25 '15 at 22:28

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it was caused by the new font file not being found by TeX. – Paul Gessler Mar 08 '15 at 17:36
