then REPLACE WITH SYMBOL from the dialog.

You will be alerted if an updated version of a symbol font is released, or when we add
more symbol fonts. Installation of the new or updated fonts is automatic. It’s important
that you choose to accept these updates because the symbol picker and Content
Catalog always show symbols from the newest font versions, so if you’re not up to date
you may find symbols you choose to insert don’t work on your device if it has an out of
date version of the font.

The Material Icons font symbols are designed so that the symbol glyphs sit higher than
those of Font Awesome. You can see this if you insert a Font Awesome symbol and a
Material Icons symbol next to each other in text. You can correct this in text by selecting
the symbol in the TEXT TOOL and adjusting the baseline shift (on page 280) downwards.
