Bug Description

I found that Font Awesome icons on http://data.gov.tw is wrongly rendered on Firefox but not in Chrome:
(Screenshot attatched)

According to the Font Awesome's page of one of the icons and some Google research it seems that those characters are in 0xE000 - 0xF8FF : Private Use.

I found out that it's UnDotum font that provides the glyph, is it really necessary to assign glyphs in that area?

### Producing environment

    Ubuntu 14.04LTS
    Mozilla Firefox 43.0

It's not a "bug" of this font. PUA can be used in any way by any fonts. This problem is because Un-fonts precedes Font Awesome in your fontconfig configs.
