 * I would like to stop loading su-icons, aka Fork Awesome. I am already loading
   the CSS version of the newest version of Font Awesome on both the admin and Front
   end of the site. I am also loading the shim. All fa classes are available, so
   the icons in this plugin should continue to work without it. Loading of this 
   extra files is a duplicate resource that is effecting page load. Is there any
   filter or action that I can perform to prevent it from loading?

 * Looking at the files this would be impossible without creating a shim. It isn’t
   the extra CSS that’s the issue, but the CSS causes the font files to be loaded
   and this is a significant amount of unnecessary resources.
 * Perhaps you would think about creating a shim similar to the one that FA has 
   available for old fa- icon classes.

 * Sorry, I missed that topic and your reply. I look forward to being able to alter
   the icon font used by SU. Thanks.
 * I am being pounded right now with trying to fix performance issues on client 
   sites and I either need to find ways to reduce duplicate resource loading or 
   I need to find replacements for plugins that load duplicate resources.
 * I understand your dilemma with FA. If I can find the time maybe I’ll look into
   creating that css shim myself.

 * In case you plan to create a pull request at GitHub, please don’t waste your 
   time. I’m going to do that with PHP only, without CSS.
