I am having issues adding font-awesome to my Angular 4+ project using scss. I have tried the many steps given here: [How to add font-awesome to Angular 2 + CLI project](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38796541/how-to-add-font-awesome-to-angular-2-cli-project) for scss based projects mainly adding `@import '~/../node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome';` to `styles.scss` and `$fa-font-path : '~/../node_modules/font-awesome/fonts';` to `variables.scss`. The thing is it compiles and it seems like it is working because I at least get a block where the icon is supposed to be, whereas without it I get nothing, but that's it. I can try importing the css files in the angular-cli, but I'd rather do it the scss way. Has anyone had success with this in an angular 4+ project?

I'm posting in a new topic because it seems like it's an issue in Angular 4, not angular 2, based on the comments in that post, and that post is old.
