title: Font Awesome does not work on any of my Windows 10 computers
body: <p>I cannot get Font Awesome to work on any of my three Windows 10 machines. All my computers have been updated from 8.1. I don't know when it stopped working, here is what I do know:</p>
  
  <p>Symptoms:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The font does not show. When double-clicked and opened with default Windows font viewer, it shows a default Arial-like typeface instead of slab serif Font Awesome</li>
  <li>After installation, when browsed with Character Map - it again displays some kind of system-default font (and none of the icons)</li>
  <li>Opened in Adobe programs it shows all alphanumeric characters and icons as blank square outlines.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>So far I have tried:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Removing any and all font awesome files from the system and installing the font again</li>
  <li>Installing just OTF, just TTF as well as both</li>
  <li>Restarting, rebooting, system cleanup</li>
  <li>Downloading older versions of the font</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I am new to StackOverlow, so can't post images. Links below:</p>

  </ul>
  
  <p>EDIT: I had a friend with Windows 8.1 try it -- same problem!</p>
