      Description

      In MDL-40759 FontAwesome was added as an icon system to be used by a theme if desired. The title of the issue is 'Use the Font Awesome icon font for all icons in Moodle' however with a block that uses the expand / collapse icons for trees this does not happen.  Such as the Navigation and Administration blocks.  There is CSS such as:

      {code}

      .block_settings .block_tree [aria-expanded="true"] {
          background-image: url('[[pix:t/expanded]]');
      }

      {code}

      resulting in:

      {code}

      .block_settings .block_tree [aria-expanded="true"] {

          background-image: url(/theme/image.php/clean/core/1494260791/t/expanded);
      }
      {code}
      And no FontAwesome alternative has been provided.

      Therefore 'Use the Font Awesome icon font for all icons in Moodle' is false and incomplete.
