This is more of a CSS question, but I figured I'll ask anyway to see if support can help.

My objective: To ensure text remains visible during webfont load, especially when it comes to mobile devices.

I have already modified the fonts.css in my custom theme to include "font-display: swap;" in every single line item where you have @font-face. This is working and is no longer creating problems with Google.

But Google seems to be having issues with the "font-awesome.min.css" file, which I may need to un-minimize to apply the above fix.

My first question is: What is the purpose of this "font-awesome.min.css" file?

Second question, What exactly is this?
../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2?v=4.4.0

Whatever it is, Google hates it.

Many thanks

We are using version 4 of the library.

Thank you for your reply, I figured as much after decompressing the file. After review, it was an easy fix. I just needed to apply the "font-display: swap" to the very beginning of the file, and it took care of the Google concerns.

Thanks again.
