QuestPDF + FontAwesome
Dropping this here in case anyone has any ideas.

Basically, when I try to use FontAwesome glyphs with QuestPDF, I get unexpected characters. I force FontAwesome to work by using the Skia canvas renderer and manually drawing the glyph's SVG, but this is less than ideal because I have to use
The fonts are in fact installed and I can use them (e.g. in Word), but it's behaving like the font family is not being applied to the text. Any thoughts on what I might be missing and/or doing weird that's causing this behavior?

Column 2 uses a text element with the unicode of the same icon with its font family set to Font Awesome 6 Pro
Column 3 is a text element with the letter M.
