Not working for me VB 5.2.5.

Tried both links mentioned with and without http in the head_include (correct) style:

<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

And put the css in the correct css_additional.css style

<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

The link quoted above gives an error when browsing, is this normal?
