Font Awesome - Not so much.

[handrawn]

I am not technical with fonts, never needed to be

when I look the font list in AD this is what I see:



and in xara pro you see sybmbols

I just wondered why, that's all

edit - the (1) after the name indicate only one flavour - ie regular

Normally Fonts names can be displayed in the system font or in its own font; Xara chose the latter.
Since the lettering is not part of the Private Use Area, Xara instead has forced the this icon list (flag, Music, Search, Enveloped Outlined, Heart, Star, Star Outlined, User) in the same fashion used by Wingdings and other icon fonts.

I think Xara opted out of applying Bold & Italic styles and has only made Regular available.
You can try and install the other from https://use.fontawesome.com/releases...-6.5.1-web.zip.
I also unpacked all 2000+ SVGs from this download.

I rather thought they were alway displayed in their own font so I have learnt something
