Bug Description
I found that Font Awesome icons on http://
(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?

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.
