Hi all,  
I have a new Dev machine, running V1.2.6 (I know it's old but prod is the same). For some reason the dev machine doesn't have access to font-awesome (even though prod does).  
This seems to provide a funky node-red editor without buttons.

and when editing a subflow

Is there any way to package font-awesome on this machine to make it work? (the NR editor will only be accessed from the host machine).  
Thanks

1. Try a hard refresh on the browser.

2. Check the browsers devtools

3. Failing that, something about the install is broken

I strongly recommend that you upgrade both.

Thanks.  
Looks like a re-install fixed the issue.  
Always awkward doing an install for an off-line computer.
