Font awesome content in sass using Angular component styles

Question

I use sass for styling in my Angular 6 project, and I now want to be able to use component-specific styling by using styleUrls: ['./filename.scss'] in the Component declaration, instead of only having global sass-files.

So I followed these instructions to get this working in webpack, which works fine except for one thing: font awesome in the CSS content-property. Basically, I have a component with the following SCSS:

$fa-font-path: "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome.scss";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fa-solid.scss";

.myelement {
    &:after {
      @include fa-icon;
      @extend .fas;
      content: fa-content($fa-var-angle-down);
    }
  }

My Webpack looks like this:

module: {
    rules: [
        {
            test: /\.scss$/,
            exclude: /node_modules/,
            use: ['raw-loader', 'sass-loader']
        }, 
        {
            test: /\.(woff(2)?|ttf|eot|svg)(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
            use: [{
                loader: 'file-loader',
                options: {
                    name: '[name].[ext]',
                    outputPath: 'fonts'
                }
            }]
        },
        ...
    ]
}

This compiles fine with webpack, but I get errors in the browser consoles and the icons are replaced with squares.

In Firefox I get the following error:

downloadable font: rejected by sanitizer 
(font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free" style:normal weight:900 stretch:100 src index:1) 
source: https://localhost:8965/~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts/fa-solid-900.woff2

And in Chrome I get:

Failed to decode downloaded font: 
https://localhost:8965/~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts/fa-solid-900.woff2

How can I include fonts in my component-specific sass-files?

Have you tried import this

@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.css';

and remove

$fa-font-path: "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome.scss";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fa-solid.scss";

Hope this works!
